    Artist description
    Ed Rogers uses the same grit and wit to craft a song that he used to weather his days as a roughneck working on rigs in Corpus Christi Bay. He reaches into his unique bag of spunky guitar licks, spins a tale of life as a young East Texan, and dusts it with his infectious sense of humor. Somewhere between blue-collar sweat and hanging out with the hippies at the self-designated "Loser Camp" during the Kerrville Music Festival, Rogers' mission to his debut CD Misery and Gold began. Rogers' songs "Seņorita" and "Graveyards and Fireworks Stands" bring both poignant sobriety and good-timin' bar choruses to this collection of tie-dyed honky tonk. Six of the eight songs on Misery and Gold were penned by Bain Ennis, Larry Martin and John Williams. These musicians are long-time friends of Rogers' who have played together in incarnations known as The Tone Deaf Cowboys and The Gypsy Troubadours, in Texas and Oklahoma, since the early 1980s. You may see some of them from time to time join Rogers on stage with his current line-up, which includes Chris Curtis on guitar, John Goodson on drums and Roy Robbins on bass. Co-produced by Curtis Box and Ed Rogers, the disc also features Gypsy Troubadours members Rodger Harrison on bass and Matthew Williams on drums. Guest performers are Ken Halford on keyboards, David Norris on pedal steel guitar, Amanda Hutchins, Curtis Box and Katie Kechnie on backup vocals, Christian Dozzler on accordion, and Danny Gabbert on banjo.
