Roy Rogers plays a variety of guitar styles related to the Delta blues, but is most often recognized for his slide work. He was a member of John Lee Hooker's Coast to Coast Band. Rogers produced and/or played on several of Hooker's best-known albums, including Boom Boom, Mr. Lucky, and the Grammy winning effort, The Healer. The 2000's have been a VERY productive recording period for Roy, greatly expanding his collaborations with other artists, as well as his own solo recordings. In 2002, he recorded a last album with Norton Buffalo titled R & B. In 2004 he released his first-ever live recording of his own band, featuring some very special guests (the video of which became part of the PBS TV series, Music Gone Public). The self-released Everybody's Angel was recorded with Shana Morrison who toured with Roy extensively in the early 2000s. In 2006 he collaborated with Reidar Larsen for a release in Norway of The Crossing. In 2009 he recorded Split Decision for Blind Pig records. Roy then met up with Ray Manzarek and their joint efforts produced three recordings in eight years Ballads before the Rain, Translucent Blues and Twisted Tales. Starting out as a duet, they soon formed a band together and toured throughout the U.S. and also in Europe. Their collaboration and friendship has been wonderfully captured in a documentary film to be released in 2015/2016. Roy's latest release Into the Wild Blue (June 2015) proves he and The Rhythm Kings are at the top of their game. Look for a collaboration in 2016 featuring Brazilian guitar goddess Badi Assad and harpist violinist extraordinaire Carlos Reyes. .
