"Tragic Songs of Life" was the only album released by The Easy Hoes.

Although this album is best known as being one of Art Alexakis pre-Everclear projects, Art was not a primary songwriter. In fact, he only wrote two of the songs, both of which were later recorded by his next band Colorfinger.

The album features a handful of covers, of Stonewall Jackson's "Poor Red Georgia Dirt", AC/DC's "You Shook Me (All Night Long)" and Hank Williams' "Lost Highway", as well as the two traditional songs "In the Pines" and "On the Rock (Where Moses Stood)".
