musicfog.com Will Hoge, recorded live in Nashville at Marathon Recorders during the Music Fog Marathon at the 2011 Americana Music Festival & Conference.
This is one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard... Chills down my spine. Sometimes to find good music you have to look past the mainstream labels and look to guys like Will Hoge.
another song that should be on country radio that isn't. It should be just how it sounds on this video too, no maracas and snare flare. This is great how it is.
hey @loganduckworth377 I really love this song too! and I hope you don't think this sounds blasphemous, but I've actually written some more verses for it. I've always felt it needed a response from the son's POV... Anyways, I cant play guitar, and can't find an instrumental version of this song anywhere, although I'd like to try recording my vocals over it. I wonder if you would ever be so kind as to send me a recording of you playing this entire song on your guitar?? I would appreciate it so much!! God bless.
Transcends "singing" this is soul crying. No matter what galaxy you hail, you feel this. His soul cries out my nightmares. Sounds like he's living it. The heavens surely hear this soul Will. Your treasures aren't here on earth my friend.
So many people havent heard of him because he is a true artist. Real music and artistry doesnt go far in the entertainment industry because of all the trash people have convinced themselves is real and entertaining. Im a young man with an old soul and this is true music right here.
Problem with your comment... You named two sellouts who are stuck on Lucifer . You can call me a nut or whatever but Dylan tells the truth with his own words during 60 minute show talking about the devil
Was leaning over putting on my shoes, half listening. Got to the part where she died. I sat there with one shoe on my lap fighting damn tears.....this dude is good.
Man ima tell you what, you can be the biggest most badd ass S.O.B walking the face of earth, if the song doesn't hit you, you might as well be dead son, lol
I like the new chevy song Strong, found Will Hoge by curiousity. Heard this one right after. An excellent song writer, reminds me of a overlooked talent like Ray Lamontagne...
Will Hoge is what would be the product of a Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash love child where Bobby taught him how to write music and Johnny taught him how to drink and perform.
It is sad, there are a bunch of Will Hoge's in Nashville that write amazing music and struggle to make a living. Like anywhere else, much of it is who you know and who you get to know. Some of these writers hook up with bigger names and become keys players or pickers. Support local live music.
It hurts my heart that this is not on the radio..

Radio is dead, I am thankful for the internet so I can find great artist like this and then go support them buy purchasing their music.
Who the hell would dislike this, haters everywhere you go...

Holy shit.... That caught me by surprise. Haven't cried for a song in a long, long time.
Got to this song and performer by accident. This song is so powerful, it broke me down. I gotta give an ear to the rest of Will's songs.
Painfully good. Such a sad song.
This is the best song I've heard in at least 10 years
Just grabbed a shot of Jack. Pressin replay, good stuff
Love this guy. reminds me of a mix of bob dylan and springsteen.
Problem with your comment...
You named two sellouts who are stuck on Lucifer . You can call me a nut or whatever but Dylan tells the truth with his own words during 60 minute show talking about the devil
wow. powerful lyrics and one hell of a voice.
I've listened to this song many times. Still hits me in the gut every time.
...and I'm buying this album....
Awww... this guy's voice is so sincere and beautiful... he needs to sing it more, perform more
Was leaning over putting on my shoes, half listening. Got to the part where she died. I sat there with one shoe on my lap fighting damn tears.....this dude is good.

This song really makes me miss my guitar. I'm doing a solo in my choir class for a test grade, and Im singing this amazing song.
Amazing
This is a really great song i cant express it enough. So is strong, it was my grandfather that raised me funeral song.
Man ima tell you what, you can be the biggest most badd ass S.O.B walking the face of earth, if the song doesn't hit you, you might as well be dead son, lol
Damn right man
So many years later, I still can't listeen without tearing up.

great great song writer!!! you can just feel his emotion!!!
people check out John Prine too kinda like a old school version of him
Such an amazing artist. Too bad Eli Young Band gets to be on the radio with his song instead of him
listen to his song When I Get My Wings, it is by far one of his best songs

wow - that's good ..

WOW
I wonder how many pieces of gum Will has chewed performing over the years! keep chewing brother... keep chewing!
Christopher Robertson Hahaha!... Awesome comment, bro'!
The gum is for his throat/voice, it keeps his throat from drying out
deep about teen pregnancy..truth is hard....but God is stronger....
What happened to songs like this? Great song!
me too
👌🏼
Never liked this style of music but holy damn that song got me going good...
dude has been writing modern country a few years back. eli young band had a hit off his lyrics
great job will keep with it . you doing great
damn
That's funny!!!
i'm wondering, is there 2 kids or one..the way it's said?
i would love the lyrics to this to do a cover.. anyone?
Take a seat and bend an ear You wont be disapointed
I song writer/singer beyond the ordinary singing songs with a little bit more to them then the stereotypical....
Adam Sandler is an amazing songwriter.
No no you got it all wrong Adam Sandler plus Bruce Springsteen plus Bob Dylan all morphed together is a good singer-song writer LOL.
Your powers of observation are strong indeed Jedi !!
you sometimes get artists like Lay Lamontagne and David Gray that get past the entertainment barrier, but it's far too seldom.
He can chew gum and sing like a pro.. I can barely walk and chew lmao
He's not Adam Sandler
lol
I hope this guy never gives into modern "country".
He hasn't yet and he's 43. I 1st saw him in '99. I think he's gonna stay true to himself.
he would have already if he wanted to. great song writer. You may have heard his songs sang by some other popular band
Don't be that guy.
Am I the only one who thinks he looks just like Adam Sandler?
Spit the Gum Out
No shit, eh?...
That 1 person has NO soul and probably kills kittens!
Amazing
