This is one song off one richly fantabulous album that I never wrote about in 2009. It grabbed me by the throat the first time I heard it, and watching this performance, I think it’s clear why:
Even If It Breaks Your Heart – Will Hoge
The Wreckage is out now on Rykodisc, and Will Hoge is on tour after that horrific scooter wreck in Nashville last year.
Name: Heather Browne
Location: Colorado, originally by way of California
Giving context to the torrent since 2005.
"I love the relationship that anyone has with music: because there's something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. It's the best part of us, probably, the richest and strangest part..."
—Nick Hornby, Songbook
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel."
—Hunter S. Thompson
Mp3s are for sampling purposes, kinda like when they give you the cheese cube at Costco, knowing that you'll often go home with having bought the whole 7 lb. spiced Brie log. They are left up for a limited time. If you LIKE the music, go and support these artists, buy their schwag, go to their concerts, purchase their CDs/records and tell all your friends. Rock on.

I saw him at the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest in Lyons, Colorado this summer. Great show! Thanks for posting the video.

So glad you are finally writing about Will!! This album is one of his best, probably due to all he went through to finish it and get it out! And this song is one of my favorites. He’s doing a short tour in Europe in January and then touring with NeedtoBreathe in April. Hope you get to check him out live.

I feel in love with this song the moment I heard it on your blog. It really gets me, for some reason. Probably one of the best songs I’ve heard in awhile.
