Welcome back to New Slang. On Episode 223, I'm joined by Texas singer-songwriter Randy Rogers. We recorded this episode a few weeks back out at Cook's Garage during this year's CottonFest. On this episode, we talk about the 20th anniversary of their breakout album Rollercoaster, working with the likes of Radney Foster & Sean McConnell, what makes him gravitate towards an outside song cut, the meteoric rise of Parker McCollum (an often collaborator), and what's around the corner release wise for Rogers.
