Críticas en vivo
Fronted by, fittingly, Randy Rogers, the Randy Rogers band carry on a long tradition of Texans that make kickass country music. Having picked up his musical talents from his Grandmother at the age of 6, Randy continued to peruse the dream and after forming the band he has seen some real success. 4 of their albums have seen the light of the top end of the US country charts with 2 of them even breaking across into the regular charts, so expect a set that is able to deliver quality song after quality song.
The first thing that grabs you about their set is the power of it all. The drums are a pounding force that drive the country ballads, topped only by the chesty velocity of Randy’s voice. Don’t think it’s all brawn and no brains though. The songs are delicately textured with the guitars and fiddle often creating soaring counter points to the firm and catchy vocals that lead the songs. Randy’s come a long way since learning from his Grandmother, but with the tightness of the band around him you still get that warm sense of family every time you see him live.
Country music is a genre often known for having standalone performers however the Randy Rogers Band are ready to break this convention. Although the operation does focus around lead vocalist Texas born Randy Rogers, each member is equally revered and considered when it comes to the operation and are not simply backup performers.
As you would imagine, these guys have a great rapport onstage and clearly enjoy playing live together. They really thrive on the energy given by the crowd too and as they cheer and jump, the band reciprocates with equal enthusiasm and vigour. They really are skilled as musicians and run through their discography with ease, stopping upon the hits including 'Kiss Me in the Dark' and 'Down and Out' so the audience has chance to clap and stomp along with the twanging country beats. They thank the gathered fans sincerely and do the band introductions before closing on the lively 'Trouble Knows My Name' which is met with approving roars from below.
