Critical reception

[edit]

Norm Rosenfield of Country Standard Time says, "This album may have little chance of reaching the audience of an Alison Krauss, but is well worth the visit."[2]

Beverly Greenfield of the Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange begins her review with, "Tammy Rogers' self-titled release on Dead Reckoning is ambitious and smart, a mixed plate of American country music with British pop and Irish fiddle flavors as well."[3]

Tony Scherman of Entertainment Weekly says of the album, "some high points: Mike Henderson’s raucous electric guitar on "You Can't Buy a Ticket to Heaven," and Rogers' beautiful arrangements for her violin and viola on "Another Day.""[1]
