TIM ROGERS & THE TEMPERANCE UNION: Ghost Songs/Dirty Ron (Festival Mushroom).

 

ESSENTIALLY two albums released together, Ghost Songs and Dirty Ron are Tim Rogers free of You Am I's constraints. His voice is raw, he's both joyful and melancholic, and free to indulge his love of Stonesy grooves, acoustic confessionals and country comfort. You Am I is still a going concern but these contrasting collections hint at a likely future path for Mr Rogers.
