I've loved this song for such a long time, and although Eli Young Band doesn't play it as good as Will, I give them props for bringing it to the radio.
I had never heard of Will Hoge until my favorite band, the Eli Young Band, came out with a cover of this song on their newest album "Life at Best." This was my favorite song on the album. I then found that Hoge originally recorded it and listened to this. Amazing work-- definitely looking into him more.
@sbrengle1 Great joke, I'm really impressed with your original thoughts. Not only does he not look like Sandler, that was a horse-shit joke. Put your head back in the books, herb.
I just moved out of Nashville and this guys shows are what I miss the most. Giant among men. The world is a better place now that he is back making music.
Ya know.....if a *big name* gotta hold of this it'd be HUGE. Respect man ,your own natural and honest style is worth more than a boatload of justin beibers.
Real glad I stumbled across this one. Anyone else hear that Springsteen influence? The solo version of this song sounds like it could fit right in on the "Devils and Dust" album. Great stuff.
@Winchester2596 Woo! I found out about him because of Needtobreathe too!! They both have songs called Washed by the Water, and they toured together =)
87, 234 people forgot to press the like button, and one dumbass missed it. This man does not get the credit and attention he deserves. Keep on dreaming, Will!
Saw him open for Shinedown in Tulsa earlier this month. He was amazing! They did a collaboration at the end of the show that was fuckin extraordinary. Best show I've seen
Dude Will I am a huge fan of yours now! I saw you with Shinedown in Oklahoma, that was an amazing show!!!!!!! I was wearing the Jets jersey on the night they lost 3-45 haha
He has an amazing voice. It is a perfect mix of John Mellencamp and Lifehouse. Just met him last night. I had never heard of him prior..... Mesmerizing voice.
saw this guy at a shinedown show...dont know why they choe this guy to open up..like hes goiod and all, but wtf is a country singer doing, opening up for shinedown??? anyway i must say i really did like their performance, and im happy to say that at the concert he looked much better (here he really looks like a hick)
just saw him with shinedown doing an acoustic set in scranton, awesome singer, and funny guy. Shinedown brought his bad and him back out near then end of the set to play with a little help from my friends, it was awesome.
Just saw Will Hoge and Shinedown do an all acoustic concert in a civil war era music hall in downtown Charleston SC. It was truely a once in a life time concert.
@2hands12 He's doing an accoustic tour with Shinedown right now, the show is totally worth going to, him, Bear, and Shinedown and when they all perform together it's AMAZING. You should see if they're doing a show near you.
everytime live version of this sounds jst like the record. jst means there is some real talent out there tht doesnt need to b altered or made better with technology
He just keeps better and better every year. How is that possible when he was already brilliant to begin with? ;) Love Will. He should be recognized for the immense talent he is more. Best live shows. Best lyrics. Great passion. Yeah they don't make them like him anymore.
and these lyrics are just so incredible... i absolutely love everything about this song.....i cannot hear it enough!!!!!! i just so so so love this!!!
I prefer the Eli Young Band probobly because I love country. This version isn't bad though.
