Randy Rogers Band
Biography
From an early age, music was an important part of Randy Rogers' life. Raised in Cleburne, TX, his great-grandmother taught him how to play the piano at age six, and by 11 he was writing his own songs and learning chords on the guitar. After some time spent in a backing band, Rogers decided that he wanted to front his own group, and soon he and some friends from college formed the Randy Rogers Band, releasing their debut album, Live at Cheatham St. Warehouse, recorded at the bar of the same name in San Marcos, TX, shortly after their first practice. In 2002, their first studio album, Like It Used to Be, came out, followed by 2004's Rollercoaster, which featured the by now solidified lineup of Geoffrey Hill on guitar, Jon Richardson on bass, Brady Black on fiddle, and Les Lawless on drums. The next year they released Live at Billy Bob's Texas and also signed to major label Mercury Nashville, which issued Just a Matter of Time in 2006, followed by the Radney Foster-produced The Randy Rogers Band in 2008. ~ Marisa Brown, All Music Guide

RRB and Wade Bowen are top of the Texas music class in my book. I love Stoney, Ragweed, etc...but these guys are my favorite live and to listen to all day at work!
|

I've been following RR since he was playin for free at our dancehalls in New Braunfels, Tx. Randy playing with a band or just acoustic his talent shows!
I've been a fan for 8 years. His talent, style, and music has not changed. See him live...and take him a shot to the stage, if possible! |

By far the best of their genre! I have seen them 10 times now in concert and they are awesome every time! Plus Randy has to be one of the best songwriters of all "country" music, and they aren't stuck up like everybody else!
|
||
i just saw them in concert saturday for the 2nd time--i love every single song of theirs!!
|
||
Just discovered this band. First song I heard was "In her arms instead". This is pure soul, son.

RRB makes good music that comes from the soul. While I've not liked their last two releases as much as Roller Coaster, each has had a share of songs that I'll probably always listen to.
jeff.lakejr - Only people in texas call it 'texas country'. The rest of us call it Red Dirt. The only thing bigger than texas is a texans ego. Brad Frye - Long line of losers is a Kevin Fowler song, but Kenny Chesney did cover Somebody Take Me Home and Ragweed has done a cover of This Time Around. |

Why don't I hear this on the radio, it beats the hell out of "Top 40" Country Music!!!
|
||
I'll agree, I love the Red Dirt country music of the south more than the Nashville pop/crossove r crap. But RR has been known to sport the ball cap quite a bit!
|
||
These guys are long-time faves, and did you notice that Montgomery Gentry covered "Long Line of Losers"?!?! Hope RRB made some cash.

Randy Rogers Band is great. This is what country music should be...not cookie-cutte r Nashville pop garbage. More backwards baseball caps than cowboy hats. These guys can really rock and have some really great songwriting as well. Go see them live if you really want to "get it." Brady Black plays one hell of a fiddle!

ok band maybe in a bar, but not in the same class as charlie or ccr. Why do they come on this station? over rated
|
||
sounds like Reckless Kelly to me -- vocals and instrumentat i o n . That's a good comparison.
|
||
Perfect representati o n for Johnson County, Texas! Great music, song writing, band as a whole! A band well deserved to play at Billy Bob's and have a Live recording CD released. The best one yet out of all who have made an LP/Live recording there. They simply put the rest to the dust for the live performance there, bar none! Coming out of Cleburne, TX-Burleson Kelly Who?

THis is one of the best, among many great Texas artist ,
It's to bad nashville took so long to catch the "Bug" and deprived it's listeners of these great sounds!! |
