LESSER
Released February 1, 2003. Produced by David Barbe. These recordings are moody, acoustic-flavored sketches of songs that were achin' to be heard during a period of time when Bloodkin was on hiatus. A few blurbs:
"This album shows off a quietness to Hutchens' music that is always lurking beneath the surface of Bloodkin's grinding tone. Here the dark side of his creativity is still present, but the softer treatment makes his skillful songwriting stand out even more."
-Chip Schramm, from a review in An Honest Tune magazine ranking Lesser #5 in best CDs of 2003.
"Bloodkin's talented lead singer and main song writer steps out on his own with his first solo release, a truly enjoyable effort that showcases Hutchens' vocal prowess. While the songs found here maintain the dark edge he is known for in Bloodkin, they are softer, more subtle, and seem very deeply personal. An album that will surely stand the test of time." -Fred Adams, from a review in An Honest Tune magazine ranking Lesser #8 in best CDs of 2003.
