Work Songs: Press
''Two-car garage rock, Stones-juiced pop...Hart is the most cunning and productive songwriter the local rock community has produced since the mid-70's...one of the bright new figures on the club scene..."
Chicago SunTimes

"A GUITAR-FUELED POP WONDER...Wedge has a mighty firm grasp on its own pop sensibilties...add the amount of melodic care that's spoonfed into each song, and what emerges is a solid collection of infectious, memorable tracks."
College Music Journal

''...classically-tailored rock and roll that incorporates swaggering R&B, rumbling quasi-psychedelia and harmonica-dusted acoustic strum-alongs. Hugh Hart skillfully layers wry lyrics, distinctive vocal melodies and sharply plotted chord progressions over tough hooks to create pieces that are thoroughly contemporary."
Chicago READER

"One of Chicago's best songwriters...Hugh Hart has written a fine collection of 11 tunes...the debut scatters lots of habit-forming hooks and gritty melodies with practically unconscious ease."
