Boss Hog is the second studio album by the hard rock band Boss Hog.[12] It was released in 1995 on Geffen Records.[13][14][15]

Critical reception

The Rough Guide to Rock called the album a "raucous smattering of straight-on punk thrashes coupled with some more off-the-wall moments (such as the neo-gothic 'Texas' and the Ike Turner cover, 'I Idolize You.'"[1]
