Roger Sings Rogerstein is the second solo album for the You Am I frontman (not counting records with The Twin Set and The Temperance Union), following 2007’s The Luxury Of Hysteria. It is written in collaboration with Ohio native Shel Rogerstein, who Rogers met on a train journey in Southern France. The pair bonded over “Tango, film, cheese, rock'n'roll, baseball and family”.
Produced by Shane O’Mara, who recently worked with Tim Rogers on the soundtrack to Australian film “Wish You Were Here” (‘If Yer Askin'…’ and ‘Didn't Plan…’ appear on the record), the album features string arrangements by Melanie Robinson, who also worked with Tim on The Luxury Of Hysteria.
