The Hotmud Family was a U.S. folk and bluegrass band based in Dayton, Ohio. They were active from 1970 to 1984, holding a brief reunion in 2010. They recorded six LP records, four of which were re-released in a two-CD set in 2010.
They were regular performers at string music festivals in the 1970s, playing hundreds of dates with an entertaining stage show and an unusual "mix of old time and bluegrass influences." Between 1974 and 1978, the Hotmuds recorded four LPs for Vetco Records in Cincinnati.[3] During their 14-year run, they were known as "the old-time band that could sing."[2]
In 1981, Flying Fish Records released the Hotmuds LP Meat and Potatoes & Stuff Like That. Among its 15 tracks was "Dust Eatin' Cowboys", a song honoring the simple cowboys of the American West.[4] Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.[5]
In 2010, Vetco released a two-CD set containing 55 tracks from their LPs and a 20-page booklet about the band. To celebrate the release, the Hotmuds temporarily reunited, playing two concerts in Dayton.[3][6]
