Songwriter Mark Lightcap says: The birth of title track "Hogsback Road" has quite the story and took quite the journey to get written. It all started back in the early 2000's when my sister-in-law and her husband finally split up. After the initial shock of the divorce wore off she started getting back into the dating scene. One day I was playing her some of my latest tunes and she said, "You should write a song called "Hogsback Road." Naturally curious I asked her what meaning Hogsback Road had to her. She has always loved Country music and said that she would sometimes come to our town and go to the local honky-tonks to dance. I asked her where Hogsback Road fits in? She said that after a night of dancing she would have to drive about 50 miles to get home. She knew that when she passed Hogsback Road on Highway 99 that she was almost there. I told her that that will make a great song someday and don't be surprised if I write it.<br />
<br />
Well, it took a good number of years for the idea to percolate, but it was always in the back of my mind. About 10 or so years later the first inkling of a song finally made its way from my subconscious to the surface. I worked on it for a couple weeks and finally finished it in 2022. I also changed the story a little bit and wrote the lyric from a male perspective, anxious to get home to his family on, you guessed it, Hogsback Road. When it was time to produce and record I couldn't "hear" me singing the song. I loved this song and wanted it to sound the very best it possible could. Thankfully my very close friend Cole Spohr, with the powerful yet warm baritone voice, was gracious enough to do the lead vocal. And what a job he did!<br />
<br />
It isn't often one takes an idea for a song and realizes that the finished product is no less that GREAT. I owe it all to my sister-in-law who hit the honky-tonks and said, "You should write a song called "Hogsback Road."<br />
