4.0 out of 5 stars Knee slappin', hard rockin', lounge singin' good time, January 29, 2002

Kelly Hogan's sultry, sexy voice hearkens back to lounge singer vixens draped over a baby grand singing about the men that done them wrong. Her lyrics, however, are a different story. More twang and rock than smoke, the resulting songs are texturally unique and defy classification.

The songs (a few written by Hogan, a few written by others, and a cover or two) on "The Whistle Only Dogs Can Hear" vary from rocking to ballad-y to almost punk, but all are emotional. Put together after the painful demise of The Jody Grind, the album explores life, death, love, and surviving it all - and she does so in grand fashion. Hopefully we'll hear much more from Kelly in the future, because her talent definitely deserves recognition. Pick up this album and share it with your friends - you won't be disappointed.

I first saw Kelly Hogan in Athens, Ga, over ten years ago at a little blues club that no longer exists; her brilliant live performance that evening made me a fan. Yes, there are some flaws to this CD, but wow, what an amazing voice! A definite must have for any music collection!

4.0 out of 5 stars Utterly hooked by third listen., September 4, 2009

This review is from: The Whistle Only Dogs Can Hear (Audio CD)

First listen was underwhelming, second listen started to click, and third listen found me bordering on addicted. This album has more traces of The Jody Grind and Rock-A-Teens than Kelly's 2001 release ("Because It Feel Good"). Lots of great reverb-guitar moments, as well as some unmistakable nods to her punk rock roots, woven into a big picture of alt-country goodness. She seems uncharacteristically pitchy here and there on this album, but the more I listen, the more I think it's intentional - in keeping with the edgy, punk undercurrents. If you're looking for an album of Kelly belting out torch songs in that full, glorious chest voice of hers, this is not it (although there are a few shining moments of that). "Because It Feel Good" seems to showcase her voice more, but the edgy quality of this album has its own appeal. Highly recommended.
