Texan Matt Koger writes stories of interesting, funny, and strange life encounters. Koger`s lyrics flow with a warm bouncy cadence. He draws from the falling-off-the-bone Texas bbq of Townes, Earle, and Clark with a mix of Robert Earl Keen`s humor. His band and production provides unadorned country that skillfully pushes his vocals out in front. Koger`s day job will keep him from ever pursuing music as a full time career. His talent as a songwriter points to an artist, not someone merely dallying with music as a sideline. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (self)
