Release Notes:
--------
Three years after Trouble, the Randy Rogers Band return with Nothing Shines Like
Neon, a swift, straight-ahead record that showcases their simple strengths even
when they invite such heavy-hitters as Alison Krauss, Jerry Jeff Walker, and
Jamey Johnson into the studio for duets. Compared to Trouble, which contained
one too many coats of varnish, Nothing Shines Like Neon is simple and direct,
never bothering to disguise how this is a Texas band through and through, one
that savors brokenhearted poetry as much as hardwood barroom boogie. Producer
Buddy Cannon, a veteran of Kenny Chesney and Willie Nelson records, wisely
doesn't add gloss to the group's Red Dirt country and, consequently, Nothing
Shines Like Neon feels like a necessary corrective to the well-intentioned but
awkward commercial considerations of the RRB's last few MCA records. Most of the
album lingers in slower, hazier territory, the deliberate pace suggesting the
band's maturation and confidence; they're not attempting to impress, they're
merely happy to be back in central Texas, playing to their strengths. Initially,
that mellowed, burnished vibe is what appeals -- so much so that it's easy to
return to the record for its feel, then repeated spins let the songs unfold and,
tune for tune, this winds up being one of the group's best records.
