Biography

Born and raised in Tennessee, songwriter Will Hoge made his name by honing a soulful blend of Americana and heartland rock & roll. After spending his childhood years in the Nashville suburb of Franklin, he left Tennessee to study history at Western Kentucky University.

Will Hoge's music stirs your soul and yields a genuine truth so rarely found in today's music. --AntiMusic.com


Product Description

Will Hoge returns with his upcoming release The Wreckage after being sidelined by a life-altering traffic accident. Like many of his musical heroes, Hoge has emerged stronger, refocused and more dedicated to his craft. Will's lyrical and musical intensity as well as his passion for life is revealed in this stunning collection of uniquely crafted songs. The first single, "Even If It Breaks Your Heart," is a personal testament to the power of great American rock and roll.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really beautiful surprise!!, October 8, 2009
By JLwormwood (Fort Collins, CO) - See all my reviews
I'm not sure how, but I had managed to go for the last 31 years without ever knowing who Will Hoge was...until yesterday when I was wandering around Barnes and Noble. They were playing this whole album start to finish on the speakers in the store, and it was amazing!! I immediately wrote down the lyrics so that I could figure out who it was later. His voice was strong, and reminded me of a mix between Rob Thomas and Pete Yorn. The lyrics really caught me... My absolute favorite was song was "Favorite Waste of Time." It actually got me slightly teary eyed while in the bookstore! After hearing the rest of the album I was hooked, and can't wait to check out his other stuff!!

This review is from: The Wreckage (MP3 Download)
A cd that you can listen to all the way through, but "Hard to Love" and "Goodnight/Goodbye" are really great songs. Also check out his brother, Josh Hoge.

3.0 out of 5 stars +1/2 -- Soulful, rustic rock `n' roll with blue country edges, October 18, 2009
Will Hoge is a soulful, rustic rock `n' roller whose career has mostly stayed under the mainstream radar. Yet he's not only turned out a consistent string of fine records over the past decade, but toured tirelessly in their support. His initial two albums with Atlantic didn't build a short enough on-ramp to stardom to keep the label's interest, but a few indie releases caught the ear of Rykodisc, for whom he's now releasing his second full-length. Hoge's music takes in the rootsy guitar rock of Mellencamp and Petty (the latter of whose singing style makes a big impression on "Long Gone," itself co-authored with ace songwriter Jim Lauderdale), but also the strained angst of Daughtry, the wavery worry of Gin Blossoms, the throbbing blood-vessel edginess of Joe Cocker, and the soulfulness of Paul Carrack-era Squeeze. There are blues and country edgings as well, as befits a musician who hails from the South and has repeatedly toured the roadhouses of America.

Recorded partly before and partly after a serious motor scooter accident, the album is only indirectly colored by Hoge's trauma and recovery. His themes continue to center around well-worn tropes of love, its struggles, pains and powers, and though he's mostly adding shading to that which has been written before, his voice carries the sort of emotion that explains why these topics persist and repeat in popular music. Even the album's title song is about the aftermath of a relationship rather than the physical collision that interrupted the recording of the album. Similarly misdirecting is the title "Even if it Breaks Your Heart" which strays from interpersonal tug-of-wars to take a heartfelt look of how music hooked Hoge into a lifelong calling. Rather than spending his recovery writing big picture songs, Hoge rededicated himself to the daily intimacies that add themselves up without a songwriter having to connect all the dots. 3-1/2 stars, if allowed fractional ratings.
