"Rogers is an exceptionally articulate slide guitarist, either he's scorching Robert Johnson's 'Ramblin' Blues' or taking a lovely, lyrical journey...or rockin' it out. One of the rare guitar heroes who values feeling over flash."

"Roy Rogers means the modern master in the art of slide guitar...His versatility with the technique is nothing short of astonishing." ~ All Music Guide
Looking forward to hearing/seeing you on your upcoming swing through Florida...and great to catch your tune in rotation this week on our fav podcast! http://www.salty.com.au Best!
As per Norton says (who I feel is R.I.P) you do play like a freight train without brakes. Loved him since I was 16 when we were lovin' and livin' in The Valley of The Moon and friends! I haven't picked up a harp since his going home to his other Paradise but I bet'cha he'd be on my case bout' that one! Love your music and will have the gift of seeing and hearing you soon Roy. Bless you~
Donald just shared the news about Norton with me. WOW! I can't believe that we won't be able to see you guys get up on stage together! The two of you up on stage were some of the best shows I have ever seen. What a great loss!!! All his family and friends are in my prayers and thoughts including you and your wife.
Man, I am severely bummed out to hear about Norton! I just read your tribute to him on your website, and I'm really terribly sad to hear about it! I know you and Norton were as close as brothers, so my condolences go to you and Gaynell, as well as to Norton's family. The oh-so-many times I saw the two of you play together will always be among my most cherished memories. It is indeed a sad sad day for music. Is there any word of a memorial fund or any other way fans can express their appreciation for his life and contribution to music?
Hello RR! Looking forward to your two Florida appearances in Dec! Hope to catch you at both Earl's Hideaway AND The Kravis Show to benefit the dolphin research. Also, wanted to say congratz to you on Salty Dog ( http://www.salty.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=464&Itemid=33 ) including your cut "Razors Edge" in this week's playlist. Top notch show, with the best of what is out there in Blues & Roots. Best!
Hi Roy, very sorry to hear about Norton. He will always be a champion and a postive being for all of us so fortunate to have crossed his trail. Hope the best for you and all of Nortons friends and family. With warmest regards, your friend in Alaska, Doug

Hello Roy Greetings from Amish Country Lancaster County, Pennsylvania Nice to meet you Very nice web site you got there Wishing you the greatest success with it!
Hey Roy! ... Greetings from Atlanta, and thanks for the add request. It was very bizarre for me to get this add request from one of the all-time bestest slide-maniacs in the world at this particular time, since I just posted my first song that I ever wrote that featured slide guitar (I've been working up to it for about 25 years ... finally got around to doing it!) I'm thrilled that you found my page, and would love to hear any comments/advice that you might have on my first attempt at bottleneck (and I actually even cut the bottleneck off myself ... what fun!) "Keep Rockin' It 'Til It's BLUE!"
