Review
On this Texas group's first major-label release, which debuted in the Top Ten of the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, frontman Rogers and Americana star Randy Foster reprise the songwriting strength that marked the band's last album, Rollercoaster. But here, Foster--who again handles producer's duties--takes the quartet in a different direction, particularly on "Kiss Me in the Dark," a tune he cowrote with former hitmaker George Ducas. It's a sexy, radio-friendly song of skin-and-sheets surrender, and like several other efforts on Just a Matter of Time, delivers a libidinous afterglow. What it doesn't do is keep enough of the band's essential renegade character at its core, despite a smattering of Southern rock underpinnings. While Rogers is an affecting lead singer, and his wounded baritone excels at conveying the heat of obsession and fevered longing, in the end this all comes off reminiscent of a Firefall album from the late '70s--a bit too mellow, too AC pop, and too unsure of what it really wants to be, except successful. --Alanna Nash"We were really conscious about not letting the fact that this was going to be our major-label debut mess with our heads" says Rogers, "Because to us, this record is really just the next step. For many folks who don't know about the movement that's going on down here, it'll be their first look at us. But we approached this like we were making our fifth record, not our first. And there was a lot of trust from the label in terms of, `You guys go out there and make a record and turn it in, and we'll leave you alone and let you do your thing.'"
In exchange for that creative freedom (and the luxury of a considerably bigger budget than they'd ever had before), the band and Foster delivered on their end of the bargain. Like Rollercoaster before it, Just a Matter of Time plays like a rock 'n' roll album with a country heart as big as Texas, or a straight-up country record played by a killer rock 'n' roll band. But in fine country tradition, it's the uniform quality of the songs that really steals the show. All but two were co-written by Rogers (four with Foster himself, a potent combo that yielded many of Rollercoaster's brightest moments, including the single and "Somebody Take Me Home," later covered by Kenny Chesney for his The Road and the Radio album); the other two were contributed by bassist Richardson (a former front man in his own right) and Foster and George Ducas, who first struck gold co-writing Foster's first big solo hit, "Just Call Me Lonesome." Here, they contribute the irresistible "Kiss Me in the Dark! ," which was pretty much destined to be the lead single from the very first time the band heard it. "If we were going to cut an outside song, it had to be such a great song that you couldn't pass on it," says Rogers, smiling. "It would have to be a single."
"We just wanted this record to be an honest representation of where we were at when we signed our first major-label deal," says Rogers. "I think it's the best thing we've ever done, but … we're going to make another record pretty soon, and hopefully we'll feel like that's the best record we've ever done, too. The idea is to just continue to raise the bar."
