A member of Muddy Waters' legendary late 1940s-1950s band, Jimmy
Rogers pioneered a blues guitar style that made him one of the most
revered sidemen of all time. Rogers also had a significant if
star-crossed career as a singer and solo artist for Chess Records,
releasing the classic singles "That's All Right" and "Walking By
Myself."
In Blues All Day Long, Wayne Everett Goins mines seventy-five
hours of interviews with Rogers' family, collaborators, and peers
to follow a life spent in the blues. Goins' account takes Rogers
from recording Chess classics and barnstorming across the South to
a late-in-life renaissance that included new music, entry into the
Blues Hall of Fame, and high profile tours with Eric Clapton and
the Rolling Stones. Informed and definitive, Blues All Day Long
fills a gap in twentieth century music history with the story of
one of the blues' eminent figures and one of the genre's seminal
bands.
