“This is a man who sounds like he’s not too worried about getting his boots shined or his pants pressed. These songs Roger Brown has written now sound like he’s lived in them long enough to know this musical view is one that listeners will either love or not like at all. He’s coming from inside himself, and there’s no other way to hear it. It’s not far from the place that another true Texan outsider Billy Joe Shaver used to inhabit,and in the end it did okay for him. In his day job, Brown writes songs for everyone from George Strait to Johnny Mathis, but that’s the straight gig. On his own, this is someone who is writing the songs for himself on his new album FIVE DOLLARS IN CHANGE. The Lone Star stater was born in Ft. Worth and grew up in Menard, which left him up to his own devices to figure out what direction he was going. To pay the piper he chose the successful songwriter path. Now to pay himself back for all that time he labored for others, he’s written eight songs that speak to him. Brown now will be letting others decide if they want to buy in. Sometimes there’s no other choice than to leave everything else behind. These are deep down songs, ones that push and pull in different directions but always end up at the finish line, polished just enough for others to hear what reality sounds like. But not too much to glow in the dark. Freedom is a precious thing, and Roger Brown has turned what freedom sounds like into this gracious album. It would be a shame to miss them because they’re not on the sales charts. Instead, they’ll be lurking around the back door of the local bar, knowing there’s no way to get in the front. That’s okay for Brown. He’s already done the front door enough to know he’s not missing anything. The alley calls.” - Bill Bentley/Bentley’s Bandstand
A high impact Texas songwriter that’s been knocking hits out of the park for others for 40 years and only records infrequently wanted to make a one for me record without having to answer to anyone.. Go ahead make the comparisons to Guy Clark in form and substance. He can send us a one for me anytime, especially since we don’t need to hear commercial stuff all the time and appreciate those righteous one for me’s. - Midwest Record
