20 years following its initial, widely-celebrated release, Randy Rogers Band’s acclaimed 2004 LP, Rollercoaster, has finally received a stunning 20th Anniversary-edition treatment. On August 23rd, RRB will release the 20th Anniversary edition of Rollercoaster, which has been completely remastered and resequenced.
“20 years. They say, 'don’t blink.' Yet, that’s exactly how this feels,” Rogers shares. “We all feel so lucky to still be standing up on that stage playing these songs. What a ride. Cheers to you Rollercoaster!”
Produced by Radney Foster, the anniversary edition of Rollercoaster captures the original thrill of the band’s seminal album, while also bringing it into the modern age. Originally released on August 24, 2004, Rollercoaster was not only Randy Rogers Band’s second full-length album, but more importantly it catapulted the New Braunfels-based six-piece outfit into the stratosphere. It’s only fitting then that the band would celebrate such a landmark achievement two decades later after what’s been 20 years of wild success. Check out the official tracklist for the 20th Anniversary edition of Rollercoaster below:

ABOUT RANDY ROGERS BAND:
Fronted by singer-songwriter Randy Rogers and featuring Geoffrey Hill (guitar), Jon Richardson aka Johnny Chops (bass guitar), Brady Black (fiddle), Les Lawless (drums), and Todd Stewart (guitar, fiddle, mandolin, keyboards), the Randy Rogers Band was founded in San Marcos, Texas, and has spent the last 20+ years bringing the Texas Country tradition to dedicated fans around the nation and beyond. With nine studio albums behind them, global streaming numbers in the hundreds of millions and a reputation for must-see Country-Rock performances, the band has charted seven singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, five Top 10 albums on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and numerous Texas Country Radio chart No. 1s, securing its place in the pantheon of Texas musical giants. Following their 2019 album Hellbent (produced by Grammy-winner Dave Cobb), 2022's Homecoming received critical acclaim and brought the band back to where it all started with their original producer Radney Foster, culminating in a project that nods to the past with its roots planted firmly in the present. American Songwriter hails “[Homecoming] shines a light on where they’ve been and how far they’ve come,” while Hook & Barrel give nods of approval to “[t]hat classic sound, brawny and melodic,” apparent throughout. The group’s sophomore album – also produced by Foster – Rollercoaster turns 20 this August, with a summer full of anniversary celebrations.
