Around the 1975 recording Northern Lamps/Northern Mix, Hudson started using synthesizers. By enough time from the group’s re-emergence (sans Robbie Robertson) within the ’80s, the Lowrey was eliminated. Hudson hasn’t slowed down over time, playing and documenting with a number of artists through the ’90s and in to the fresh millennium, including regular appearances, both studio room and live, with Teacher Louie & the Crowmatix.
