Editorial Reviews

This Austin denizen has a country sensibility that has much to do with stalwarts like Lefty Frizzell and Faron Young, and very little relation to Nashville's mall-country mainstream. His supple voice and evocative songs bring a whiff of whiskey, women, and trouble, with fiddle-and-steel accompaniment that's surely traditional without ever sounding self-consciously retro. Songs like "Wishful Drinking" and "Moonlight Never Shines on a Loner" are just the thing for scooting a boot across a Texas beer-joint floor, with clever lyrics and topnotch playing. The only thing that works against this release is production that feels a bit too restrained. All told, this is an impressive debut effort from a young artist who epitomizes the Austin honky-tonk scene. --Jerry Renshaw

5 out of 5 stars True Country and Western.......2001-12-27

I have know idea why I bought this disk. I was in a store in Sacramento and put down a Kinky Friedman disk to get this. Thats a huge risk. Something about the cover just grabbed me I guess. This album is true. I hope we see alot more from this guy. He writes some really good songs and covers just the right ones for his players and his voice. There is no poor song on this album. He covers the Kris Kristopherson song " Your time coming" as if it his own. This guy has a sound that will remind you why you like Lefty frizell, I even think about Marty Robbins with this sound he has. I can only say that from 1-13 every song kicks a@@.I hope you enjoy this album as much as I have. Peace and good will Chris Slavesnky

5 out of 5 stars If you like true COUNTRY you'll love this.......2001-07-03

We heard him in Round Top, Texas this year... great sound. Bought this CD from him, and still can't get enough. Highly recommended!!

5 out of 5 stars Wallace is a throw back.......1999-10-29

Wow. This guy sounds like he's lived the whiskey trail life. "Moonlight Never Shines on a Loner" is the stellar song. This is a Texas crooner who makes you feel like your in the middle of the dance floor at the Broken Spoke. Big things coming for this fella.

5 out of 5 stars Austin suits this East Tennessee boy.......1999-09-28

Some guys know there are other places then Nashville to get experience with writing and performing. Roger Wallace ended up in the Austin apartment complex known as Hillbilly Heights. Thirteen cuts of pure honky tonk are here including one Johnny Paycheck number "Hang on Sally". Roger currently plays around Austin particuarly Ginnie's Little Longhorn
