iTunes Review
In August of 2008 Will Hoge was hit by a van while leaving the Nashville studio where this very album was being recorded. Hoge was listed in critical condition after breaking his ribs, sternum, kneecaps, femur and shoulder blades. But not even a near-death accident could keep him from singing about the silver linings. The Wreckage is alive and bouncing with uplifting Americana — the kind you’d expect from a Tom Petty album, though the jubilant “Hard to Love” sets the tone with more of a vintage Springsteen vibe, replete with bells on the chorus à la “Born to Run.” The driving and rootsy “Long Gone” rocks and twangs like a Mudcrutch gem and even the more melancholic numbers like the title track are hoisted by lyrics that choose to abandon doubt and fear for hope and love. The autobiographical “Even If It Breaks Your Heart” is equally catchy and inspiring as it narrates Hoge’s childhood addiction to music and the hard road he chose to spend his life on, offering sound advice: “Keep on dreaming/ Even if it breaks your heart.”

Will Hoge: The Wreckage
by Will HogeI can't stop listening to this album. I first heard Will's music playing while I was shopping in a bookstore, and I had to find out who he was. Bought this CD on the spot and I am just in love with it!
best album of 2009 (so far...)
by 'lil RickiOf all the music I've bought so far this year - this is no contest: buy it...
welcome back, will
by amart005this album is a definite upgrade over draw the curtains, which was great but a little too country for me. will hoge seems to return to his roots with desperate yet hopefully passionate vocals. blah, blah, blah about "lacking originality" and having "predictable chord progressions"- will hoge writes will hoge songs and plays will hoge music, which is what we love. can't wait to hear these songs live. will hoge is one of the few artists who sounds better live than on his albums.
