  • "hogwash" is my favorite but not the most technical or powerful

  • Original rock at its very best.. you're listening to pure music history in the making here.

  • Been lovin' the Hogs since 1970...theys the best band nobody ever heard of.

  • This is so wild. Great stuff. Recorded on the Rolling Stones' mobile recording unit at the request of Jagger himself (he dug the 'hogs), if I'm not mistaken?
