Now Playing on Roots Radio: The Doc Marshalls - No Kind Of Life

Randy Rogers Band

03.16.2005 -- Review by: Gregg Geil

If you asked me two months ago who Randy Rogers was I’d have to say I have no clue. In the last two months I’ve met Randy, bought all of their CD’s and caught a live show at the Gruene With
Envy awards show in Austin, Texas. I now get the pleasure to write up a review for their latest release entitled Rollercoaster.

 

The Randy Rogers band got their start at the Cheatham Street
Warehouse which is a career springboard for many great Texas
musicians. Randy played many a Open Mic nights at the club located in
San Marcos, Texas starting back in October 2000. Randy and the band
have come a long way from their debut album entitled Like It Used
To Be.

{mosimage}With their latest release, Rollercoaster,
 they team up with a well known musician Radney Foster who in
my opinion really helped capture a great sound that  helps
define the band into something very special. Rollercoaster
features eleven tracks all of which are superb. While listening to
this CD for the first few spins I was surprised at how many tracks I’d
actually heard before. I thought this was a weird occurrence
since I had never "heard" of Randy Rogers or at least that’s what
I thought at the time. Rollercoaster will not disappoint so do yourself
a favor and pick this CD up and catch a show. 
 
This
CD will leave you wondering why they named this CD Rollercoaster since
as far as I’m concerned this band is heading straight to the top.

 

This
will be the first time I pull out the big guns with our
bottlecap review system. I give the Randy Rogers Band four
bottlecaps.
