This album is terrific top to bottom and I'll credit Amazon for helping me find it. If you've found your way to this page by searching for "related artists" and you're into John Mayer or Howie Day or something like that, then consider Hoge as a turn for a rougher cut of rock that is less pop and in my opinion more interesting. Not sappy, not loud...just great energy. Maybe the intersection of Howie Day/Counting Crows/Pete Yorn. Pick this up!

I bought this CD a couple years ago and it has been a mainstay in my CD player ever since. This is a roots rock 'n roll, with a touch of blues, and a little country--with exceptional vocals and with catchy tunes. I really can't tell you how much I have enjoyed this CD. It boggles my mind that this guy has not gotten huge. Trust me, this is a CD you will not regret buying.

First, I had heard "Be the One", then "Not That Cool". Read the reviews, and before you could blink an eye, this CD had become a "must have". If you're wondering where you can find a great rock CD today, look no further. From beginning to end, you'll be treated to some great music from Nashville's Will Hoge. Make sure you have a place in your CD player for it, because it'll probably stay there for a while. Listen to "King of Grey" and see if Van Morrison comes to mind. And "Secondhand Heart" brings to mind early Tom Petty. And Will Hoge can rock with the best of 'em. From "TV Set" through "All Night Long", you get three great rockers in a row. The middle of these three, "Better Off Now (That You're Gone)" is my favorite track here; "Secondhand" gets a close 2nd though. The closing track "Baby Girl" is the last of three ballads on the album and hints at country with steel guitar, although not anywhere near as prominent as in a country song. Altogether, great lyrics, great songs, just one great album.
