Kudzu Animals is the first solo release from Andy Lee White, an Atlanta, Georgia based singer/songwriter.
White combines a far reaching range of musical styles rolled into one neat little package to make Kudzu Animals an enjoyable romp through the mind of a southern boy under the influence of the British invasion meets roots rock (think Joe South, Tony Joe White, John Fogerty). Hints of a wry sense of humor, together with a pop/rock/country tinge, keep this eleven song album moving right along. From the opening howl of "Dogs And Fleas" to the catty attitude of "If I Were A Cat" to hearing the "Birds Of A Feather", one gets the underlying feeling that you are seeing these imaginary animals, albeit, as "kudzu animals on the side of the road", along with Andy Lee White.

White wrote all of the songs and co-produced with Scott Patton and Bruce Bennett. Scott Patton's current claim to fame is as the lead guitarist for the impressive, charting, country act, Sugarland. He played the majority of the guitar and bass parts on Kudzu Animals as well as a lot of piano. Bruce Bennett has produced music for over twenty years with hundreds of different acts and varying musical styles. He owns his own studio in Atlanta and keeps an insanely busy schedule.

Andy Lee White has been playing music in the southeast for over twenty years. He has been a member of touring bands, a member of an acoustic duo, and a solo acoustic performer. This is his first solo album after putting out an album as a group in the late 80's and as a duo in the early 90's. He has penned jingles for several political campaigns at both the state and national levels and has written theme songs for radio shows and national organizations. In addition to his musical endeavors, White appeared briefly in the major motion picture "FLED" with Salma Hayek in 1996 and in the made for TV documentary "First Frontier" in 1986. He is also an award winning photographer.

White sang all of the vocal parts on Kudzu Animals and played guitar, bass, piano and harmonica.
All of the players are Atlanta based with impressive credits and extensive resumes. Three drummers played on the album, with Jeff Sipe (Col. Bruce Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit), playing on four of the eleven songs. Mike Grando (Blueground Undergrass) plays on five cuts while Billy Pitts (Georgia Satellites) plays on two. Tom Grose (Tom Grose and the Varsity) played a rocking piano and a psychedelic organ on a pair of songs and Bruce Bennett, who also has co-producer credits, played organ and piano on three songs. Donn Aaron, who has two solo albums of his own, plays lead guitar on three tracks and Thom Jenkins (Music Department Faculty at Woodward Academy in Atlanta) plays flute and the wooden frogs on the ballad "Now Is The Time". Scott Patton, as already mentioned, is all over this disc. He has spent thousands of hours in the studio as a master session guitarist and producer/engineer for many artists, not to mention his extensive live performances with a wide range of acts including Sugarland and the cool sounds of Ten Story Relapse.

Kudzu Animals is a fun and entertaining CD that maintains enough seriousness to keep any age listener delighted. Andy Lee White's first solo album is described by Magic House Records president Nigel Boardman as being, "Joe South meets the Beatles while driving under the influence of Ray Stevens." Have a listen and decide for yourself. I'll bet you like it.

Magic House Records, an Atlanta based company, will release Kudzu Animals on March 6, 2005.
