about

"Co-founder of The Doors, Ray Manzarek and slide-guitarist extraordinaire Roy Rogers have collaborated on projects before and have been very successful at it. However, with their latest project, Translucent Blues, they have exceeded their past endeavors and set the proverbial bar at a new height. I literally fell in love with every single tune on the record... The two artists are true masters of their craft and they are at their absolute best here. To bind them together they have added Elvin Bishop’s bass player, Steve Evans, and Kevin Hayes of Robert Cray’s Band on drums. If the talent were not already impressive enough, artists such as Warren Zevon, Jim Carroll, and poet, Michael McClure, have graciously contributed lyrics. In a word – Incredible!" - 'Rebel’ Rod Ames / No Depression

During the early '70s, Rogers played with a variety of Bay Area bar bands. ... more
