Well, I respect Randy Rogers, but I just dont think this cd is that good. He's writing for a specific group of poeple and he's struggling at it. when he was writing more for himself, his musci was much better. The same goes for Cross, Jason and everyone else. I think that if you want to read a real intelligent post then go to Rich O'Toole and look at a post by "The "Real" Truth". It's one of the most intelligent posts on this board ever. Texas is becoming "Nashville Southwest".
RRb selling out? No. if u ppl knew anything about the biz wouldnt you say cudos to rrb 4 getting texas music some attention? i do. hes not only helping rrb but also boland,ragweed,and all the others. he didnt tour w Chesney(thnk God) and if he did you ppl would still bitch a bout it saying he sold out. cant win 4 losing
Great album. Great vocals. But Matt, what the hell does "just plane in simple" mean? You're "just an idiot".
sold out big time no matter what anyones says just plane in simple sold out dont buy this nashville poop
True "Just a Matter of Time" sounds more nashville... like mentioned earlier, he's clearly not a sell-out. Using his band in the studio. Refusing "Super-star" tours. Sure, his fan base is ALOT bigger now, and packs places like Cowboy's Dancehall... he's still Randy Rogers the guy who sang "They Call it the Hill Country". When I come home from my duty station in crappy new york, I still can count on seeing Randy in a local concert.
Not a sell-out. Just experimenting with a style that didn't sound like his other greats.
He may have wrote them but that doesnt make them good. He tried writing songs that would appeal to Nashville and they are horrible for the most part. I do like 2 or 3 songs....But I used to like the whole cd. He's always had a Nashville sound and leaned that way with his lyrics, but now he's jump all the way over and just like Cross and Jack. It's...different.
What in the hell, ern? How is Randy a sell-out? He wrote or co-wrote almost every song on the record. He refused to go on tour with Chesney out of principle and he used his band on his record instead of studio hot-shots? In what way is he a sell-out?
sell out....i cry myself to sleep at night now randy.
yeah, i stated earlier that it is a rocking record. it still is to me, but i think there might be some truth in that there is some over production with the polished up sounds. it doesn't sound as raw as their previous records. you still have to keep in mind that they had to follow up on rollercoaster, an album that blew everyone away, and that is very hard to do.
Don't get me wrong, anyway Texas music can get it's self out there is important.So if that means signing with a nashville label so be it. I just hate to see great bands get over produced and I think that's what happen here
