News: Happy Summer!

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0800

The summer is off to a great start with special events, festivals and such going really well. Had a great time at Coloma Blues Live! where Roy had Curtis Salgado sit in on a tune or two. It was smokin'!! The band is now leaving for a tour of Norway where they will eat lots of salmon, drink with the locals and try to make their cell phones work in the fjords. :) Also, Jessica Rogers is the roadie! (Her graduation present - get to work girl!) So see you all in July and thanks as always for supporting live music.

News: Festival Season off to A Stunning Start!

Wed, 28 May 2008 00:00:00 -0800

It was great to see a lot of old friends this past Memorial week-end at the new Yoshi's in San Francisco (wow what a club!!) and at the Sonoma Jazz Festival. Thanks for coming out!! Two amazing shows to be sure. The show at Yoshi's was just astonishing - the band just kicked it in to gear full boar and it was big fun. At Sonoma Jazz Bonnie Raitt had Roy sit in as a special Guest. They performed "Walkin' Blues" acoustically (amazing!!), 'G'Nawin On It" a song they wrote for her release 'Silver Lining' - with her band, and "Never Make Your Move Too Soon" for the encore. All I can say is that it was pure unadulterated magic. Bonnie is singing and playing better than ever before - she is so stunning, solid and impressive - and Roy just made it a "combustible combo baby!!" - adding his stellar tasty slide to hers. Such great fun and damned inspiring. Next show should be a great one as well at Coloma Blues Live on June 7th where Roy and The Delta Rhythm Kings are sharing the bill with Los Lobos, Tommy Castro and others. This is a great intimate festival nestled in the Sierra Gold Country in the Lotus Park area on the American River. Come on down! Thanks once again for supporting live music. Yours from The Slide Zone, Gaynell Rogers

Press: "Roy's Slide Takes Center Stage"

Thu, 25 Aug 2005 00:00:00 -0800

"There isn't a slide guitarist in history who didn't sound better live than on record, and Rogers is no exception...The dozen tracks here are well selected, giving equal weight to his many fine solo albums...The band members, veteran road rats all, are tight...and Norton Buffalo and Shana Morrison do indeed show up for cameos. But it's Roy's slide that always takes center stage..."

Press: "A Worthy Live One from a Master of Slide"

Thu, 25 Aug 2005 00:00:00 -0800

"A Worthy Live One From A Master of Slide....This is a long awaited release for longtime fans of Roy Rogers. His live shows are the stuff of legends and his signature slide playing is from the top end of town...Live albums are mostly hit and miss affairs...but Rogers' has sensibly recorded in the same venue on consecutive nights to make this release very solid and a worthwhile addition to any CD collection."

Press: 5 Notes! (Out of 5!)

Sat, 20 Aug 2005 00:00:00 -0800

"This is a fine example of live Mississippi Delta Blues by one of its foremost practitioners. Rogers is a marvel on the guitar and his compositions are authentic Delta blues of the highest quality. Ehrmann, Sanchez, Aaberg, Rigney, Buffalo, and the others are worthy companions in this exciting live performance. The sound is great and the enthusiasm of the audience is infectious. If you couldn't be part of that audience, the next best thing is to put Live! at the Sierra Nevada Brewery Big Room on the stereo and put yourself on the mood for a great time."

Press: Blues Revue Magazine recently reviewed Roy's show at The Triple Door in Seattle, WA.

Mon, 27 Jun 2005 00:00:00 -0800

"Like his music, Rogers' storytelling is crisp, entertaining, and all of a piece. Still, his powers of expression are strongest in his hands, and he proved throughout the two sets that it's possible to be simultaneously flashy and genuine. His low-key showmanship highlighted dazzling technical prowess but also made it accessible."

"Can the day get any better! Well yes it can and Roy Rogers proved it. Guitar Player magazine said, "That's not a slide on Roy Rogers pinky, it's a time machine. With it Rogers transports you to the Mississippi Delta's past and future." No matter if he picks up his Martin 016 New Yorker six string or the Gibson 12 string Dobro made in the mid-'60's, Rogers has no equal. Slide music just can't get any better or cleaner. Rogers was the only act of the festival that I sat down and watched the entire performance."

Press: Roy Celebrates 25 Years of the Blues

Fri, 18 Mar 2005 00:00:00 -0800

"My first reaction was, 'Wow, he's white,'" the New Orleans native now called Gaynell Rogers remembers of that first sighting in 1980 when the Vallejo-reared slide guitarist was celebrating the release of his bluesy album with harmonica player David Burgin. "I'd heard the record on the radio, it was a great record, and when I saw Roy I thought, 'How is this guy playing guitar like that? He's not Southern, and he's not Afro-American.'" And he's not that Roy Rogers, although he was named after the singing cowboy to please his older brother Billy, a cowboy wannabe. This year Gaynell and Roy celebrate the 25th anniversary of that introduction, and the 21st of their marriage. It's a silver anniversary also for the Delta Rhythm Kings, the trio fronted by Roy and in significant part promoted and publicized by Gaynell."

Press: All Music Guide Review: 4 Stars

Mon, 31 May 2004 00:00:00 -0800

Roy Rogers is somewhat of a rarity in contemporary blues; he's not only a monstrous guitar player, but is also possessed of a distinctive singing voice. In addition, he differentiates himself from the Chicago-style hordes by concentrating primarily on Delta-influenced slide guitar. By no means simply a revivalist, however, he's managed to take the best of Son House and create a unique style that is much more than the sum of its influences.

Whether you compare this disc to anything else Roger's has released, compare it to other slide guitar releases or compare it to other blues CD's released this year, it is not hard to justify a five star rating. This release is simply heads and shoulders above the rest.
