"This is the album of a lifetime, the distillation of everything that has made Roy Rogers such an important blues artist over the years. The slide work is superb and the band rocks with white hot intensity. A masterpiece." -John Swenson, Author, Rolling Stone, Gambit, Elmore and more..
“Rogers again offers up a foot-stompin’ assortment of blues-tinged jams with his latest album, Into the Wild Blue.”- Charlie of City Sound, North Bay Bohemian
“Rogers’ effortless slide guitar is in full effect on the record, and the Delta Rhythm kings keep a steady southern influence over the beat, like a hoedown happening in the bayou heat.”-Charlie of City Sound, North Bay Bohemian

-Richard Ludmerer, Making a Scene.org
MakingAScene.org ALBUM REVIEW, June 2015
“Tracks are fresh, fierce and leave no doubt that Rogers is not content to rest on his previous laurels. Roy's always been intrigued by the sounds of funk, jazz, good old rock-n-roll and even a bit of Motown sounds, all those elements can be deciphered on Into The Wild Blue. Well worth the wait, and it is great to hear Roy Rogers is still at the top of his game. If you are anywhere near the Bay Area check his gig schedule so you can check him out in person. You will not be disappointed! This well-produced album is a collection of different genres that are thoughtfully sequenced into a cohesive whole, so it would be a disservice to just cherry-pick a few tracks off of iTunes. Into The Wild Blue is a must-have for fans of guitar music”- Terry Mullins
