Burning The Day (MCA Nashville, 2010)
Randy Rogers Band
Reviewed by Andrew W. Griffin
Opener Interstate recalls some of the breezier, alt.-country stuff they're known for. And keep in mind, Rogers' delivery has that slightly mournful feel to it. The fiddle-laced country of Missing You Is More Than I Can Do is one of the best songs the RRB has recorded in a while. On Just Don't Tell Me the Truth, there is a traditional and bittersweet feel to it that stays with you long afterward.
The outlaw-esque 1970's work of Charlie Daniels and Waylon Jennings comes to mind on the closer Last Last Chance, a song written by bassist Jon Richardson and guitarist Geoffrey Hill.
"Burning The Day" is a good album over all. Not any broken ground here, just solid Texas country delivered by one of the best bands in the genre.
