Hogan's Fountain
"Lonesome Ballad of Robert Zimmerman"

Released in 2009

Hogan's Fountain was a rock band from Kentucky. They called themselves an electric folk rock band and that is an apt description. This was one of the tracks I found in the early years of my online station. It still holds up as a brilliant song. In fact, it's a great example of why I think there was more great music being made in the 2000s than anyone would believe. The hardest thing was finding it.
