Liner Notes:
Rod Moag’s story is one of amazing
accomplishment. The gentlemanly and multi-
talented “Pickin’-Singin’ Professor” is still
going strong with the release of Bluegrass
From The Heart, Rod’s sixth album release
since settling in Texas in 1988. That’s pretty
impressive for a guy who has split his time
between being a college professor (recently
retired), deejay (currently at KOOP-FM,
Austin), multi-instrumentalist, performer,
recording artist, record producer, author,
historian, and more!
In 2000, along with his singing partner
Shirley Smith and bassist Randy Rogers,
Rod formed his current band, Rod Moag &
Texas Grass. On Bluegrass From The Heart,
they are joined by Texas bluegrass pioneer
Billy House, who many will remember from
the legendary House Brothers band, on
guitar, as well as Rolf Sieker and Mark
Stockton on banjo. Rod contributes
mandolin, fiddle and rhythm guitar. The
songs are from sources as diverse as Rod’s
musical interests and background would
suggest, including classic to contemporary
bluegrass, early country, western swing,
folk/Americana, and gospel, all sensitively
and effectively rendered with a bluegrass
touch by Texas Grass.
Bluegrass From The Heart is just what its
title implies. No doubt it will swell the ranks
of the fans and friends of Rod Moag & Texas
Grass.
