Roger Wallace

"The Low Down"  

Roger Wallace is without a doubt one of Texas' best kept secrets. When he wanted  to get in to music he didn't head to Nashville but to the new capitol for country music which is proving to be  Texas. On this his 3rd cd you will find a mix of good solid music. Pure Honky Tonk , Two steppers. two  that remind  me a tiny bit of big band meets "Bob Wills" While Nashville is  putting out  the same sappy feel good and first loves songs some so sweet it isn't safe for diabetics to listen. Just  one listen to Roger Wallace's "The Low Down" and you will see what is missing from most all of country music as a whole.

 It kicks off with the Title cut "The Low Down"   a nicely done song about a man who finally  realizes his new girl friend is stepping out on him. He finally learns "The Low Down" Next up is a duet with "Toni Price" a well  blended sound with their voices mixing nicely . The others songs that jump out at me are "Your A Heavenly Thing" this one has a bit of big band flare with some Bob Wills in it.  to me at least.  "So Long (Be Gone)" is a Dwight Yoakam style number that really comes  out. The song that makes me really take notice is "What Did I Do (The Teardrop Song)"  The haunting arrangement and Roger's smooth vocals wrap around each word. and is my favorite on this cd. Next up is an instrumental number that showcase's Roger's talent on the guitar  The next cut that is outstanding is  "Me and Abalina Jane"  another one that just really cooks with  more Bob Wills meets big band.  This is one cd you will not want to miss. It contains pure country There isn't a sappy song on it. Roger wrote 6 songs on this 12 cut cd. and plays acoustic guitar on it.  You can order this fine cd and Roger's other 2 by visiting his official Website so click here.
