The Wreckage Review – So I bought the latest from Will Hoge and I like it. I was drawn to it because I noticed he was playing in Chattanooga recently. A quick look on Amazon and I see he has a new album out and it’s on Vinyl. That got my interest so I sampled some songs and then I bought the album. I’m very pleased. I can’t quite put my finger on it but something tells me if you like Tom Petty and you like John Mellencamp then you will give this album 4 stars. Make no mistake the music is neither Tom Petty nor Mellencamp but if you like both of those artists then there is a cross point in The Wreckage. You can really hear it on 2 tracks “Long Gone” and “Favorite Waste of Time” but it comes through on other songs too. This is the album that Keith Urban should have done. I always felt Urban’s music was too manufactured and the lyrics and deliverance fall short of his natural talent. This is the album and performance you Keith Urban fans have been waiting for but the radio is hiding it from you. The Wreckage has just enough raw edge to sound real and not manufactured but has enough polish that it keeps its luster from track 1 to the end. I am always excited when I find new music and this has been a pleasant surprise but I got 2 for one here because on Goodnight/Goodbye I hear a voice I want to hear more of. I’m off to find some music by Ashley Monroe, thank you Mr. Hoge.
