Tammy Rogers is the eponymous solo debut album by Grammy winning member of The SteelDrivers, Tammy Rogers. The album was released by Rogers' own label, Dead Reckoning Records, which was formed with fellow musicians Kieran Kane, Kevin Welch, Mike Henderson and Harry Stinson, all of which appear on this album.

Critical reception[edit]

Norm Rosenfield of Country Standard Time says, "This album may have little chance of reaching the audience of an Alison Krauss, but is well worth the visit."[2]

Beverly Greenfield of the Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange begins her review with, "Tammy Rogers' self-titled release on Dead Reckoning is ambitious and smart, a mixed plate of American country music with British pop and Irish fiddle flavors as well."[3]

Tony Scherman of Entertainment Weekly says of the album, "some high points: Mike Henderson’s raucous electric guitar on "You Can't Buy a Ticket to Heaven," and Rogers' beautiful arrangements for her violin and viola on "Another Day.""[1]
