"Hey everyone, Hudson James here! I'm so excited to share that I've embarked on a new creative journey – the very beginnings of my first full-length album! It's still early days, but the spark of inspiration has been lit, and I'm buzzing with ideas and possibilities. I'm currently in the brainstorming phase, exploring different sounds, themes, and stories that I want to tell through my music. This album is going to be a true reflection of who I am as an artist, and I can't wait to see how it evolves. It's a blank canvas right now, and I'm thrilled to start painting!"

One of the most exciting parts of this album process has been connecting with some incredibly talented folks here in Nashville. I'm so fortunate to be working alongside some amazing musicians and songwriters, and the creative energy has been electric! While I'm keeping the specific names under wraps for now (all will be revealed when the album is ready!), I can tell you that these collaborations are adding so much depth and richness to the music. I'm learning a ton and truly believe we're creating something special. Stay tuned for the big reveal – you won't be disappointed!

"Most importantly, I want to thank all of you, my incredible fans, for your continued support. Your messages, comments, and enthusiasm mean the world to me. I'm so excited to embark on this new musical journey, and I can't wait to share the process with you. Make sure you're following me on social media for even more updates, behind-the-scenes content, and chances to connect with me. I love hearing from you, so don't hesitate to reach out! Get ready for some exciting things to come – this is just the beginning!"

"As many of you know, I'm also hosting the "Stories Round the Table" podcast with the amazing Joni Harms and our publisher Vernell Hackett! We've had an absolute blast chatting with some incredible guests, from legendary singers and songwriters to industry insiders. We've covered everything from the creative process to the challenges of the music business, and we've even shared some hilarious behind-the-scenes stories. While we have a dedicated page for the podcast (check it out www.storiesroundthetablewithhudsonandjoni.com), I'll also be sharing some exclusive podcast content here on the news page. Think of it as a sneak peek behind the curtain! I'll be posting clips from upcoming episodes, sharing photos from our interviews, and maybe even asking you, the listeners, for questions you'd like us to ask our guests. So, keep an eye out for those podcast updates – you won't want to miss them!"
