(1979 – aktuell)

Huey Lewis & The News ist eine US-amerikanische Rockband um den Sänger Huey Lewis, die in den 1980er Jahren sehr bekannt war.

Lewis gründete 1979 zusammen mit Johnny Colla (Saxophon/Gitarre), Bill Gibson (Percussion), Mario Cipollina (Bass), Sean Hopper (Keyboard) und Chris Hayes (Gitarre) Huey Lewis and the American Express, die sich noch im gleichen Jahr in Huey Lewis and the News umbenannten.

1980 veröffentlichten sie „Huey Lewis and the News“ und 1982 „Picture This“, 1983 „Sports“ mit den Hits „The Heart Of Rock ‘n’ Roll“ und „I Want A New Drug“. Mit diesem Album ernteten sie international Anerkennung.

1985 lieferten Huey Lewis & The News mit „Power Of Love“ (Nr.-1-Hit in den USA und für einen Oscar nominiert) und „Back In Time“ zwei Hits für den Spielfilm „Zurück in die Zukunft“, in dem Huey Lewis auch einen kleinen Gastauftritt hat.

1986 erschien „Fore!“ (benannt nach einem Golf-Ausdruck), 1988 „Small World“. 1991 kam „Hard At Play“ und 1994 „Four Chords and Several Years Ago“ heraus. 2001 erschien das Album „Plan B“. Anlässlich des 25-jährigen Jubiläums der Gruppe im Jahr 2004 gab es eine große US-Tournee. Ausschnitte davon findet man auf dem Livealbum und der Live-DVD „Live at 25“. Die Lieder darauf, quasi eine live gespielte Zusammenstellung der größten Erfolge, wurden am 14. und 15. Dezember 2004 bei zwei Auftritten in der Stadt Chico im heimischen Kalifornien mitgeschnitten.

Die Gruppe hat sich zwischenzeitlich ein wenig umformiert: so gibt es mit den „News Brothers“ (Marvin McFadden, Ron Stallings und Rob Sudduth) eine eigene Bläsersektion – bei vielen früheren Liedern waren Tower Of Power als Bläsersektion dabei.

    Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour. [30] I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself. [6] Hey, Paul! [4]

    Sports was a breakthrough for Huey Lewis & The News, commercially as well as artistically.

    if I had to pick one song, their undisputed masterpiece is "hip to be square." I think I'm the only one that thinks that though.
