'Pundits who bemoan the scarcity of guitar gods haven't laid ears on Roy Rogers, whose slide riffs could peel a crawfish!"  ~  USA Today

'One of the rare guitar heroes who values feeling over flash' ~  Rolling Stone

'Many guitarists dabble in slide guitar, but the number of modern masters can probably be counted on one hand, and Roy Rogers is surely one of them.' ~ Guitar Player

'He's one of the most astounding guitarists working today....'  ~  Blues Review

"I know what comes to mind for some of you when you hear that a blues act is playing Santa Cruz: Great, another headful of predictable 12-bar strolls, recycled guitar licks and stale-beer howlings from some guy who can't find his baby. Well, like the gunslinger of the same name, slide guitar badass Roy Rogers is going to blow you right off your high horse. Thirty seconds of Rogers' music will show anyone with working ears that he kicks some down-home Delta tail. Rogers fires a few warning shots from his six string and then tears into a hellacious roadhouse rocker, playing like a man who wants to take over the world. There are the kind of guitar fireworks that get you making ooh-damn faces and contemplating a soul mortgage at the cross-roads." —Damon Orion, Good Times News and Entertainment Weekly
