That Tim Rogers is an artist in the tortured and talented sense of the term is as obvious as the mesmerising brilliance of the riffs in Cool Hand Luke, Sound As Ever and Purple Sneakers. All hyperbole aside, Rogers is both of Australia’s finest contemporary songwriters, and a troubled rock’n’roll soul in the true Townshend/Marriott/Gene Clark tradition.   Rogers’ latest musical outing sees...

Tim Rogers’ new album was written in collaboration with Shel Rogerstein, who Tim met on a train. It’s called Rogers Sings Rogerstein, Ya-har. Go On Out, Get Back Home features Tim at his most silken and coquettish, a banjo and some twanging Hawaiian surf guitar, all wrapped up in a tripping bluegrass rhythm. S’nice. Only Tim Rogers could make a sweet line of “I’m the gristle in your tenderloin”. Read More
