TJR mixes a passion for the great classic rock artists of yesterday to create his own blend of "Neo Classic Rock".

notes

“With this CD, I stopped referring to my music as Rock Americana or Alternative Blues and started calling it Neo Classic Rock”.....TJR

With his 3rd CD TJR continues his musical journey of Blues and Roots music that started with his 1st CD Rip Roarin Rock’n’Roll.

But he continues to move further with his songwriting and lyrical exploration. You still get all the great songwriting and killer guitar playing you’ve come to expect.

And there are all the rockers that your used to getting from TJR (Baby Please, Lil Miss Thang). But this time there is pleny you might not expect from a TJR CD.

You’ll find a lot more satire, with songs like Peace Love And Don’t Trust MTV, and Jesus Loves You.

You’ll also find (for the first time): Love Songs. Yes! real love songs from TJR with tracks like Home to Me, and No One Makes The Sunshine.

You’ll also find more ethereal and experimental sounds with songs like Bare, and Anna.

And let’s not forget TJR’s complete revamping of the OutKast song “Hey Ya”.

Here is a track by track breakdown.

MTV TALK:......A quick little skit before we start

PEACE LOVE AND DON’T TRUST MTV.......A satire on the so called “Music Network”.

ONE SUMMER MORNING:.....A fun(ny) blues song

HEY YA:....A remake of the Outkast classic

BABY PLEASE:......A song about spankings

BLUE:.....A happy blues song ....is there such a thing?

HOME TO ME:......A love song

JESUS LOVES YOU EVERYONE ELSE THINKS YOUR A**H*** ....I think the title says is all.

LIL MISS THANG.......It’s a rocker about a myspace girl!

ANNA ......A song about a young couple on the run

BARE......A song written after listening to a lot of Johnny Cash prison songs

NO ONE MAKES THE SUNSHINE......A love song written for.....

NO ONE MAKES THE SUNSHINE (Reprise) .....Let’s hear it under different colors.

(bonus track) JESUS LOVES YOU (Radio edit)

And the musical journey continues.........

  • The desire to explore is a good thing.
    author: Robert Kinsler

    If there is one direction that Fullerton-based singer-songwriter TJR has followed on his third full-length disc, it's simply to follow as many different paths as possible. And as TJR proves across the aptly-titled "Another Roll of the Dice," the desire to explore is a good thing. From the satirical "Peace Love and Don't Trust MTV" and breezy rockabilly-tinged "One Summer Morning" to an emotive acoustic version of OutKast's "Hey Ya," and the beautiful folk ballad "Home to Me," the disc brings together the past and present in ways that showcase his formidable neo classic rock with his distinctive baritone and virtuoso guitar skills....Robert Kinsler, OC Register

  • Great job TJR!

    I have been a fan of TJR for years and I have to say that ‘Another Roll of the Dice’ is his best CD to date. TJR always puts on a great live show in which his voice, lyrics and guitar playing really shine. In my opinion, his previous CDs didn’t live up to the live experience. I enjoy his previous work, but the CDs didn’t capture the quality of TJR’s voice or the vibe of his sound. With ‘Another Roll of the Dice’, TJR has never sounded so good on disc. It is simply a great CD that captures the strength of his voice and combines it well with the addictive rhythm of TJR’s guitar. Songs I enjoy and tend listen to more than a few times, either strike me as catchy or complex. With ‘Another Roll of the Dice’, I was pleased all around. Tunes like ‘Home to Me’, ‘One Summer Morning’ and ‘Jesus Loves You’ are very catchy (both musically and lyrically). ‘Anna’, ‘Blue’ and ‘No One Makes the Sunshine’ give you something to sink your teeth into and chew on awhile. If you are a fan: You’ll definitely want to pick up this CD. If you’re not a fan, listen to the samples and you’ll soon be one.
