What is the problem with the music industry today? They take artists, who can play the guitar and sing a bit, send them off like little children to learn how to write with specific writers, put millions into the promotion of said second rate product, take everything they have from them including integrity and soul....then drop them deep into the ocean to become an instant has-been quicker than they became an instant hit! Lee Rogers writes every single song, sings every single note like it was his last, plays the acoustic guitar beautifully, write killer songs....in a word, he has already got everything that the big guns pay big money for! What?! I have had this CD for 2 years! Has it scratched the surface...no...it will though...and when it does and the dogs come-a-sniffin...tell them to piss off!!!! All the best Lee.

As a boy growing up on the east coast of Ireland in a working class town with the mellifluous name of Carrickfergus, Lee Rogers got an earful of Van Morrison, one of his father's favorite singers. Whether this exposure was an act of prescience or mere musical imprinting can be debated, but no one can argue the similarity between Rogers' and Van Morrison's soulful vibe today. "Drawing Clocks," Lee Rogers' debut CD, is a version of an earlier demo CD named "Promise of Day," reworked in the studio from a raw to polished product which even adds strings, an embellishment which might seem a bit oxymoronic for an R&B recording. But it works very well, especially on the atmospheric "How Will I Sleep?," chosen by Myriad Pictures for the soundtrack of the eerie drama "The River King." One of the lyrics embedded in this haunting tune reads "There's a fine line between my love and my fear" and could very well be a thematic recap of the film, in which Ed Burns plays a cop caught between conflicting passions of sorting out a tormented past and remaining true to his work. The standout track is "Love, Love, Love," ushered in by an unhurried drone of minor chords which is then pierced by impassioned vocals sounding like Sting at his stratospheric best. Lee Rogers' songwriting is incredible, but most will be awestruck by his voice which sounds much like Paul Carrack, Paul Rodgers or Elton John... a one-uppance of Van Morrison himself.
