"Here comes Mark Rogers’ 2nd album, 'Rhythm Of The Roads'. A folk rock infused commentary on a life lived. A reconciliation. Trials and errors. Love lost and regained and learning to live with the two. Mark Rogers hasn’t taken the easy road. His songs wouldn’t be this good if he had."

- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -

"The new album from US singer songwriter Mark Rogers delivers a superb fusion of soft rock and folk. Outstanding and intricate melodies, combine with his effortless voice, to produce an album that is easy on both the ears and the senses."

- Rory Stanbridge / Fatea Magazine -

"Although Mark Rogers tried to start up a career back in the early 1980's, the synth dominated era gave him such a hard time that he quit until 2015. Since restarting his music career 6 years ago, 'Rhythm Of The Roads' is his 2nd album so far. Musically speaking, Mark is in the americana and country direction. 10 songs are included on the album, and especially during uptempo pieces like 'Fifty Dollar Fine', 'Every Once In A While' and 'Just So You Know', it all sounds quite uplifting. Mark reminds me a bit of Paul Simon here and there, but the music is as mentioned more uptempo based."

- Gabor Kleinbloesem / Strutterzine -

"'Rhythm Of The Roads' is the 2nd full length album in the almost 40 years lasting musical career of American singer songwriter Mark Rogers from Virginia. It follows on the album 'Laying It Down' that was released in 2019. The 10 songs on this new record are poppy and catchy tunes that will certainly be able to please a broad audience."

- Valére Sampermans / Rootstime -

"Mark Rogers has his own unique style, where pleasant vocal lines are in harmony with instrumental parts, 'Rhythm Of The Roads', satisfies in many aspects."

- Branimir Lokner / Time Machine Music -
