Reviews of Roger’s recent album; Love Songs, Now and Then
“Love Songs, Now and Then a new CD of Deitz’s original songs, provides a sonic complement to his witty essays. His storytelling is poised and relaxed, and his dexterous guitar runs like a steady electric current through the songs. He’s developed two unmistakable sonic signatures: his broad, warm baritone and his deft guitar playing, which often sounds like several guitarists playing at once.” – Tris McCall writing in the Star-Ledger
“Heartfelt, Honest and Wonderful! When I first listened to this collection of tunes, I was immediately impressed with Roger’s ability to present heartfelt and honest portrayals of the human condition and the varied perspectives of love. The lyrics are sincere and genuine and the vocal delivery is passionate, yet relaxed and comforting. I have been familiar with Roger Deitz through live performance and was not surprised that he could compile and deliver such a collection of gems as these! This is a CD that belongs in every personal music collection because it reaches out to all of us in some way or another!”– Andy Allu
