For the Album of the Week I chose Roy Rogers Live At The Sierra Nevada Brewery Big Room.

No, NOT the cowboy!

This Roy Rogers is an outstanding blues guitarist. I was first introduced to Roy Rogers on a PBS show called Austin City Limits, which features a variety of live performances (blues, bluegrass, country, rock, etc). This is upbeat, often lightning-quick blues. I watched, mesmerized as his fingers and/or slide flew up and down the neck of the guitar.

Yes, it’s a live recording. But the sound quality is crisp and clear, and unlike a lot of live cds the performances are truly spectacular!

As a bonus, I found this short video on YouTube, which I don’t think is on the album, but is really cool.

He’s got other videos on YouTube, but the songs aren’t on this album.
Check out his official website

Hope you enjoy this album as much as I do.
Let us know what you think.
