Bluesman Roy Rogers is no stranger to unusual musical collaborations. In 1990, the Novato-based acoustic guitarist–who was largely responsible for ushering John Lee Hooker’s Grammy-winning comeback–joined Hooker, jazz trumpet great Miles Davis, Taj Mahal and others on the Delta-driven film score to The Hot Spot.
Hooker and Davis simmered above Rogers’ red-hot slide guitar licks in a winning combination that drew critical raves. Now Rogers is teaming up with bassist and vocalist Jason Newsted of Metallica and drummer and percussionist Carl Coletti of neo-flamenco star Ottmar Liebert’s band in the fledgling trio Heard of EleMEnts.
Sounds interesting.
