Men Who Share My Name
by Hip Hatchet
Men Who Share My Name is a beautiful work of art - a devastating folk record - portrait of a man and his life. Philippe, the mastermind behind Hip Hatchet, played piano, accordion, and sang for Balto.

Popular music bent into something you've never heard by the producer of "October's Road". Keyser Soze will knock your socks off.
