Produced by Hoge during a weekās worth of live performances at Nashvilleās Sound Emporium Studios, Wings On My Shoes was preceded earlier this year by the powerful album-closing ‘Whose God Is This?’, available for streaming and download here. The album ā which sees Hoge joined by his longtime backing combo, guitarist Thom Donovan, drummer Allen Jones, and bassist Christopher Griffiths, with guest multi-instrumentalist Joshua Grange contributing pedal steel and organ ā features few overdubs and zero studio trickery, wearing its rough edges with pride to stand tall as a document of a hardscrabble band at work, sweating and stomping its way toward rock ānā roll redemption.
Written largely during the pandemic era, Wings On My Shoes is, at its core, a testament to Hogeās renowned gifts as a songwriter, highlighting the diverse perspectives of an expert craftsman whose songs turn Southern storytelling into universal sentiment. From the jubilant jangle of ‘Itās Just You’ and the furious ‘All I Can Take’ ā the latter an inspired blast of bar band bombast recorded in a single take ā to the stunning, string-laced ‘The Last One To Go’ and the desperate narrative drive of ‘Dead Manās Hand’, Hoge distills American roots music to its essential ingredients, carrying the torch for an enduring blue collar sound rooted in ringing guitars, anthemic songcraft, and steadfast lyrical integrity.
āI always want to embrace change,ā Hoge says, āto accept new things artistically, but at the end of the day, I can try to run from this idea that I love good, guitar-based rock ānā roll music or I can wear that badge of honor. Iām in the āwearing the badge of honorā phase now.ā
