Turn it up. Your life, your energy, your enjoyment. I'm sitting in Austin where the usually mild weather has been replaced by a cold snap, and our first freeze. Coming off the heat of this past summer, it seems impossible to believe that the temps have dropped so low. This summer it was way too hot to drive with the radio cranked and the windows open, and now it is just too cold to do it. That doesn’t take away from that great American tradition of driving down the highway listening to the tunes, even if it is in your mind’s eye for now.
I have to laugh, 32 degrees isn’t really that cold. I talked to a friend of mine in Montana a couple of nights ago and it was 12 and snowing in the mountains there. Now we are talking winter!

I secretly watched MusicFest videos this summer, in the hope that I could remember what cold felt like when it was 105 here in Austin, but I digress. Today, we have a sweater-swathed Roger Creager for you. His new album Surrender comes out next month, and you can preorder if you like directly from his website. “Turn It Up” is the first single from the new album, in advance of its street date of January 17th. Roger’s shows are joyous celebrations. Catch him tonight at the National Rodeo Finals in Vegas, baby! Here is a tantalizing taste.
