In early 2006, Americans were captivated by the Southern soul croonings of Taylor Hicks, a modern-day bluesman who rose to fame via the well-oiled American Idol machine.
Meanwhile, the similarly styled Will Hoge was busy touring America's smoky barroom circuit, inciting his audiences to alternately weep into their whiskeys and hit the dancefloor.
It was a routine that the Nashville-based artist was used to, having left the Atlantic Records roster several years prior to pursue life as an independent road warrior.
Perhaps that's why his first offering on the Rykodisc label, Draw the Curtains, boasts the sort of informed authenticity that American Idol finalists can only seem to muster several years into their post-TV career.
