about

Brian Hougard's classic EP, "Anarene & Other Ridiculous Love Songs", is now available in its entirety for digital download! Here's what the late great Buddy Blue had to say about Brian's EP when it was first released...

"Brian Hogard is a local singer-songwriter whose debut EP, "Anarene and Other Ridiculous Love Songs," is at once bemused and estranged, ethereal and salt-of-the-earth. Hogard's voice sounds a bit like Gram Parsons with a cold; sleepy and distant and not quite in pitch, but somehow serving the context of his style. The droning, minimalist accompaniment – guitar, bottleneck, banjo – give his oddly melodic, hooky tunes a rootsy feel.

If one comes away with the impression Hogard has spent more time with Wilco and Whiskeytown than Waylon and Willie, well, the dusty mood his music conjures up seems somehow more sincere than the former, more in the now than the latter. The vibe is, for better or worse, neophyte: rough-around-the-edges but distinctive; imperfect but intriguing; a subject worthy of further research."

- Buddy Blue 5/5/05 Union Tribune
