The simple truth in Matt Hoggatt's music comes from his background as a soldier, police officer and barstool performer. Since being introduced to the national stage in 2012 by Jimmy Buffett, Matt has been sharing his blend of Americana storytelling with the world the old fashioned way; one man, in one van, with one guitar. Recorded in Memphis, Tennessee and produced by legendary songwriter Keith Sykes, 'Workaholic In Recovery' is Matt's first full band studio release to date. The 12 song musical journey takes you on a tour of sandy beaches, battlefields and the Oval Office on a sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic but always-memorable trop-rock, Americana, folk-country adventure. The album ends in true pirate fashion with the 'Ballad of Buck Reilly,' a song that features Coral Reefer band members, Nadirah Shakoor and Tina Gullickson based on the main character from the popular novel series by book author John H. Cunningham. Lending a hand, as guest performers on the album are longtime Buffett band members Mac McAnally, Doyle Grisham, Nadirah Shakoor and Tina Gullickson.

Matt Hoggatt has done it again!
Evil-Eddie here reporting from The Cloud:Workaholic in Recovery is Exactly what I have come to expect from Matt Hoggatt and MORE.His first album, Hotter than Fishgrease was a "live" album and introduced us to him from the stages of the SouthWorkaholic in Recovery, his first Studio recorded album, is going to be a chart climber.His balanced mix of Country, Trop-Rock, humor and moving ballads are truly awesome.He has proven that hard work, dedication to his fan base, a unique outlook on life from the "Common Man" and amazing song writing talent can get you a long way in the world.Great job and the ONLY thing that I can regret is I can only give him FIVE Stars!!

Awesome, only thing keeping it from 5 stars is that the song "A Hard Goodbye" made me tear up a little bit.

Matt Hoggatt does it again by writing and singing what he knows in a fun way. He typically has humor in the forefront, but do not discount his more serious melodies because they are really some of his best work (examples: When War Wasn't War, and Ready in New Orleans) on a side note, his Facebook page is quite entertaining as well......just buy it people.

Tales from the Gulf Coast, mmmm good!
His first studio CD is a great compilation of country, ballads, and Americana with a touch of Trop and humor! Love that Keith Sykes produced the CD, and guest musicians include Mac MacAnally, Doyle Grisham and Coral Reeferettes Nadirah Shakoor and Tina Gullickson. Several favorites including Minivan Kind of Man, In the Middle, Come as you are Beach Bar and The Ballad of Buck Reilly, but something for everyone here!
