CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Blues producer and slide-guitar virtuoso Roy Rogers's eighth solo outing continues his exploration of roots music with an all-instrumental selection. Nearly an hour's worth of slide guitar is a rich confection, but the variety of styles and tones adopted here will keep the aficionado amused. A few of the cuts are simply grooves, rather than artfully prepared tunes, but the majority are blues based, and all are raunchy and uptempo. The opening "Avalanche" is a gloriously sweaty blueswailin' stomp. Other highlights include "Duckwalk," a rocking tribute to one of the unsung heroes of the slide guitar, Chuck Berry, and "There Is Only You," which climaxes in a manner reminiscent of some of Ry Cooder's best soundtrack instrumentals. Meters drummer Zigaboo Modeliste lends a New Orleans flavor, and Snortin' Norton Buffalo's harmonica is a key foil for Rogers's slide throughout. --Rob Stewart Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsYou Gotta Get This CD Born Again | Rochester NY USA | 10/31/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "Oh My God, Oh My GOD, OH MY GOD!!!!! I've listened to a lot of instrumental music in my life, but always thought "slide guitar - are you kidding, that's for backwater hillbillies". Boy was I wrong. I heard the NPR feature the other day on Roy Rogers and this album and was intrigued to say the least.If you have ears (even one will do), you must run out right now and get this CD. It made me jump, it made my laugh, it made me cry, it made me want to live forever, it made me feel like I died and went to heaven. There are no words to describe it." Roy Rogers & Norton Buffalo Don Brown | Las Vegas, NV | 10/06/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "Normally, I don't like instrumental CD's. To me, they tend to get boring. From the opening notes of "AVALANCHE", the first song on Roy Rogers' latest CD, SLIDEWAYS, it left little doubt, with its blues boogie and hard driving slide work, that this could be different.Roy Rogers and the Delta Rhythm Kings can almost do it all. Where there's something they can't do, out comes Norton Buffalo blowing his harp on this CD. Norton shines the bightest on the slow blues number "I'M WITH YOU"."THERE IS ONLY YOU" and "PRECIOUS MOMENTS" are slide guitar odes to that special someone. Roy makes you feel the love in each and every note without having to say a word. SLIDEWAYS is a must have for people who love their music straight from the heart." Worth adding to any blues collection cadzilla1959 | Nashville, Tennessee United States | 12/12/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "This album has a level of energy that I haven't found on many recent blues albums. Overall I think many of the other reviewers are being a bit too critical--this one is great for driving or background music during a loud party. I play it at work frequently, and almost every time someone will walk past and say "that's good stuff--who is it?" Considering some of the major disappointments I've purchased in the blues vein recently, this one deserves a solid recommendation."
