| ORIGINAL SONGS BY KENNY HOGAN |
LET'S GO! - An up-tempo Rock-A-Billy tune with horns.
I wanted to keep the lyrics as simple as possible.
I did the guitars, bass, drum parts, and vocals on this song.
The horns were played by Carl and Dave Ayotte "The Sibling Rivalry Horn section,"
- I can't thank them enough for their great sax work!.

FISHIN' HOLE- (A BLUES GUITAR BOOGIE)
Originally Fishin' Hole was a novelty song with filthy lyrics.
Somewhere along the line I decided to make it an instrumental instead. Now I can play it anywhere without offending anyone.
If you like rockin' blues guitars, this song is for you.

REAL GOOD DAY- This is a song I wrote one bright and sunny morning in Austin Texas. Contains Uke!
It was 6AM and the birds were singing, so I decided to put some birds in the recording.
I don't know how to classify it, except to say that its a happy song.
This one is for my brother Donald. Recently re-recorded with clarinet and ukulele added.

STARTIN' ALL OVER AGAIN - I wrote the 1st verse when I was 17 years old, sitting in a field at sundown.
I finished it 30 years later.
There's a lot of my life in this song, and it's also a kind of prayer.

I HATE EVERYBODY BUT YOU
A twisted little rock song.
(and NO, I don't hate everybody) The guy in the song does.

EVIL RAIN- This song features slide guitar. (my electric Frankendobro)
I'm also playing a Variax 12 string model on the left channel, (tuned to G) and Fender Jazz bass.
I wrote this one during a very dark time which I'm glad is over. Music always gets you through those tough times.

Lot's of vocal harmonies with a gospel feel.
If you're havin' a tough day, this song might help.

SUMMERTIME SAMBA- (not included on the album)
A song to listen to on the beach in the sweet summertime. I never tried writing in this style, but I love the sound of Samba music,
so I gave it a try.

THE UKE SONG
I wrote this song in Saint Augustine, Fla, on a beautiful sunny day.
I sat in the sun with my new ukulele... ....meanwhile, back home in Boston, my wife was shoveling snow.
I had a lot of fun writing this song!
