CRITICAL REVIEWS OF HEARTLAND AND HEARTACHE
- "...Many have compared Andy’s voice to the likes of Johnny Cash. Following his debut solo record called Heartland and Heartache came “Nowhere,” that has a harmonious country sound that all classic country music lovers can appreciate. " - Colette Patterson, Hits in the Sticks www.hitsinthesticks.com
-
- "The CD’s title song, 'Heartland and Heartache' seems to perfectly sum up the bittersweet mood of the
album. This is an album for adults — for people who realize that living brings not only joys but heartaches. Or, as Hughes sings in the albums second song, 'This getting to heaven is putting me through hell.' " -Michael Martin - La Crosse Tribune
- “...his debut album, Heartland and Heartache, a reflective, bittersweet, and memorable fourteen-track collection which mines classic country melodies and relatable themes.” – The Daily Country www.thedailycountry.com
CRITICAL REVIEWS OF SONGS FOR SUNDAY
“Songs for Sunday might feel familiar upon first glance, but far below the surface, Hughes masterfully injects classic structures with charm, warmth, compassion and pin-point poetry. He’s the kind of songwriter and musician, whose stylistic habits are only growing stronger, that is keeping the very heart of the Americana scene alive and flourishing.” - B-Sides and Badlands
