Song of the Day – Sep 06/07
I’m working on a review of Roger Wallace’s new album “It’s About Time” but in the meantime I’ll share these mp3 links….the project is definitely aptly titled…
After a few years of wranglin’, fussin’, cussin’, and discussin’, “It’s About Time” was finally released in August 2007. This one’s a bit different from the others — still definitely country of course, but with a more raw, stripped-down feel and leaning towards the hillbilly side of the honky-tonk sound. It also focuses on songs with great stories to tell, and of course great playing from Austin’s finest pickers — Jim Stringer, Brad Fordham, Kevin Smith, Erik Hokkanen, and T Jarrod Bonta. I wrote or co-wrote 12 of the 13 songs, with the last track — an epic murder ballad with an ontological bent — penned by Jim Stringer.
