Blue Mountain was fromed in 1993 in Oxford, MS by husband and wife duo Cary Hudson (guitar and vocals) and Laurie Stirratt (bass and harmony vocals),who is notably the twin sister of John Stirratt, the bass player for the like-minded American band Wilco. After the dissolution of their former Los Angelos band, The Hilltops, the couple relocated to Oxford and joined by drummer Matt Brennan began gigging and recording roots rock. With this line-up, the band released their first self-titled album on their own 4-Barrel Records in 1993.
