Album Notes

This is Rodger's second CD. It contains a mix of his original western songs and poetry, plus several traditional cowboy songs. It contains his award winning song, "Broken M".

Rodger Maxwell is an award winning songwriter and cowboy balladeer who brings the listener back in time. He blends traditional, contemporary and original cowboy songs into a show that is all acoustic, all American, and one that will leave you feeling as if you just came from the old west. He sings and plays guitar and harmonica.

Rodger's dad had a radio show in the 1930's and he sang traditional western songs and sometimes his original parodies of favorite tunes. So Rodger really does live up to the title of his CD, "Son of a Cowboy Singer"
