Roy Rogers is one of those guitarists that was able to get right into the thick of the blues. playing and producing music with John lee Hooker, collaborating with singers like Bonnie Raitt, and becoming one of the more popular virtuoso slide guitarists of his time. From his interviews, he seems like the type of musician that has really done his homework, studying all the famous guitarists to come before him, and then blazed his own trail of guitar playing that is unlike any other. I respect a musician that can create his or her own destiny by creating the music he or she wants to create. I pulled a few videos featuring Roy Rogers, his great music, and a little bit of the history I was referred to with Robert Johnson. I hope you enjoy all the videos as much as I did!<\/p>\n

Roy Rogers and Bonnie Raitt produced a song together called “Gnawin’ On It,” that took Bonnie pretty far in the music world. Check out the two performing the song together live at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=W-2nhFb1SAQ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I really dug this next video because Roy is interviewed about the great Robert Johnson and it seems to me that he kept this information in mind as he was working on his own slide guitar chops. Plus there’s a great solo performance of “Ramblin’ On My Mind,” at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Wsr6rn4TFbY<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lastly, I wanted to share one of Roy’s own songs with his own band. Enjoy this live performance of “Terraplane blues,” at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mtfXb1zUF9E<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I hope you dug all these videos as much as I did. Roy’s not only a great player, but an outstanding vocalist, songwriter, and producer. When you go shopping for your next album purchase, make sure to check out Roy Rogers. There’s more coming your way at Blues Guitar Unleashed, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n
