The album is a country LP. - Blind Pig is proud to add slide guitar wizard Roy Rogers' 1987 label debut to it's "Vinyl Masters Series." Roy powers his way through classic and original blues, aided by special guests John Lee Hooker and Allen Toussaint. For this special, limited edition LP release, "Slidewinder" was remastered and pressed on HQ-180 gram vinyl."Rogers is both a sensational and a sensitive blues guitarist - certainly among the finest slide guitarists playing today." - San Francisco Examiner."Slidewinder" is an LP that captures Roy Rogers' outstanding command of the slide guitar and his deep roots in American roots music and the blues. Across the album, Rogers blends fluid bottleneck guitar lines, earthy grooves and expressive storytelling into a sound that feels both traditional and modern. Warm, dynamic production lets the natural resonance of the guitars and the organic interplay of the band shine through, making this LP particularly attractive for vinyl enthusiasts who value an authentic, room-filling sound. "Slidewinder" is conceived as a coherent listening experience: the sequencing invites you to play the album from start to finish, following a musical journey that moves from driving, up-tempo pieces to more introspective, atmospheric tracks. The result is a record that works equally well as focused listening on a high-fidelity system and as a rich, emotional backdrop for relaxed evenings.
Roy Rogers is known as one of the most respected contemporary slide guitarists in the blues and roots scene, with a career built on virtuosic playing and tasteful restraint rather than empty showmanship. He has earned his reputation through years of touring, collaborations and studio work and is appreciated by fans and fellow musicians alike for his recognizable tone and his ability to fuse traditional influences with his own, unmistakable style. His recordings have helped bring slide guitar back into the spotlight for a broader audience, and he has become a reference point for many younger guitarists looking to explore this expressive technique.
The LP is released by BLUE PIG MUSIC, a label and manufacturer focused on musically credible productions with a clear artistic identity.
