We are facing a new gratifying Roy Rogers cd, one of the best houserockin’ blues performers you can listen to in many roadhouse bars, gloomy taverns or city clubs He is a passionate flaming guitar player with a personal original way of playing slide, who collects the whole cultural legacy of Hound Dog Taylor and JB Hutto, but making it sound as something different, full of his own personality and feeling, something that most of actual bottleneck guitar players lack of As singer Rogers is full of intense vitality and bursts with a convincing joy and determination Twelve splendid tracks done with bright majesty, where he is backed by a couple of effective able musicians, Steve Ehrmann on bass and Bill Lewis on drums, who do a faultless work You will also find some guest musicians who contribute to create a colourful atmosphere, Phillip Aaberg on piano, George Brooks on tenor and alto sax, Omar Liebert in song Your Sweet Embrace and, if I am not wrong, his son Sam Rogers is on percussions and berinbau
