It’s been a long road to the top for Bill Hudson. Just a year ago, he was singing doo-wop on the subway with a group of a seniors, when John the Martyr founder Kyle Ridley heard the singer. Flash forward a year, and the 70 year old singer’s fronting the 12 piece soul outfit. Hudson’s spent a lifetime floating between bands (sometimes literally floating, as a singer on a cruise ship), always just beneath the surface, but with “Feeling Good,” the veteran singer’s absolutely stratospheric. With every note, you can hear the joy in his voice just to be doing what he loves, and it’s thoroughly infectious. We all need a little more of this in our lives.
