Will Hoge Releases New Song 'Growing Up Around Here'
. (Radio.com) Will Hoge didn't title his upcoming album Small Town Dreams because it sounded nice. He did so because it meant something to him. Proof of what that is surfaced in "Growing Up Around Here," the lead track from Hoge's upcoming album (due April 7) that premiered on Rolling Stone. WIth lyrics about a "sleepy little one horse dot on a map" of a town, the song speaks directly to the life experience shared by millions. Ditto his chorus of being "kinda proud" to have "[grown] up around here." "It took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now," he sings. With its unadorned lyrics and rootsy, guitar-based arrangement,"Growing Up Around Here" leans into the gritty Americana territory often associated with such artists as Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle and John Mellencamp. On certain words and phrases Hoge's voice even has a gruff tone reminiscent of Springsteen, and based on the subject matter alone, you can't help but conjure Mellencamp songs like "Small Town" and "Pink Houses."
