About Rob Logar

I am a performing/song writer from West Virginia. My influences lean heavy on the original country outlaw legends as well as southern rockers. I along with my band enjoy entertaining crowds with a mix of kicking tunes.

Maverick Country & Billy Bop   Review MDO Volume 1

<p><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Modern Day Outlaws</span></em></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Ragol Music RAG1001</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">****</span></strong></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Multi-talented band with a quite outrageous and sublime sound about them.</span></em></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Hailing from West Virginia, this ten-track album may seem like a relatively short release in these modern days of fifteen-plus tune albums. But this is no inferior release, and in fact is quite a stonking album, which raises the roof on more than occasion.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">With all songs written by the bands members, you may be forgiven for thinking that maybe some of the tracks would be ineffective and poor. But no, in the duration of these ten tracks no sign of lacklustre effort is present. Perhaps the best of the lot is <em>Thank You</em>. A beautiful, enticing sound all around, it has the classic status labelled all over its verses and chorus. It has that bonus of sounding very similar to something you&rsquo;ve heard before, but this song is new so that notion is thrown out of the window. Either way, no matter whether you believe to have heard of this track before, it sure is one hell of a good way to spend a few minutes. The recorded-live <em>Got It Bad</em> opens with provocative lyrics that then proceed into party mode in the same vein of Garth Brooks <em>Friends In Low Places</em>. <em>Got It Bad</em> is a tune, which is both endearing and splendid at the exact same time that never fails in pleasing the ears. It seems every country CD these days, and indeed throughout the history of this great genre, includes a slow track of some kind. The albums prime example of this song type is <em>Simple Things</em> but, unlike many of its predecessors, does not bore you or see you reaching to change to the next track.<em> Simple Things</em> being a tune to dance close to a loved one whilst looking into their eyes and thinking of nothing else apart from being lost in the moment of true happiness, it seems as though the vocals of lead-singer Rob seems ideal for such a track and he certainly flies high with this.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Admittedly listening to a number of American internet country music radio stations due to the scandalously lacklustre country exposure here in the UK, this band is a new one to me and probably to many of the general public. Such material deserves airplay, and I do hope this happens because such material needs radio exposure. <strong><em>RH</em></strong> </span></p>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 8.5pt; color: #000033;">THREE STARS<br /><br />Southern sounds, hard blues, Roots Rock or Heavy Country (I just made that one up) &hellip;it pretty much sums it up all what Rob Logar has to offer. From traditional Country Tunes over Southern rock and back to Alt.Country, Rob Logar presents you 10 tracks on this Modern Day Outlaws full of beer drinking, car driving, heartbreaking tunes.<br /><br />Title track &ldquo;Modern Day Outlaw&rdquo; throws in some southern flavour. Follow up tune &ldquo;Win Again&rdquo; is according the press sheet one of their favourites and although done in a very traditional country style, this tune is definitely worth seeking out! &ldquo;Outlaw Guitar Picker&rdquo; turns your player into a rocking country machine and is without doubt a crowd pleaser, but it is &ldquo;Red Dirt Risin&rsquo;&rdquo; that throws in all the good vibes! Including some Texas sound of ZZ TOP, some hard blues and not to forget melodic vocals. The tune is full of energy and has you on your feed in no time! &ldquo;Better Land&rdquo; is one of the tunes that is written by Bill Cleavenger the bass player of the band. Bill is a songwriter himself and before he and his wife Patty joined Rob Logar they had their own gigs now and then! Closing down the album is another tune done in the traditional country way! &ldquo;Got It Bad&rdquo; is one of those tunes that found its way to the audience through internet radio! Having been on many streams the tunes rapidly finds a fan base!<br /><br />Mr Blue Boogie.</span></p>
