"Fans of Chicago blues aren't going to get any new recordings better than Jimmy Roger's Blue Bird... One of the reasons for the startling impact of this recording is the clear, resonant sound -- Michael Ullman, Stereophile

"The finest-ever marriage of the blues and audiophile sonics, a bona fide blues session with sound quality, mastered by Doug Sax, never before associated with the genre.- Ken Kessler, Hi Fi News & Record Review

Analogue Productions is proud to present the definitive album by Jimmy Rogers, one of the three founders of Muddy Water's first and greatest band, and a Chicago blues giant in his own right.

Jimmy, whose evocative and earthy guitar sound embodies Chicago Blues, is recognized as a writer of Chicago blues songs second only to Willie Dixon and is regarded as one of the greatest Chicago blues singers by fans and musical legends alike, including Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, who credits Jimmy as being one of his three greatest musical influences along with Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry.

As the musical genre Jimmy pioneered is gaining mass popularity in the nineties, Jimmy's classic guitar work has been heard by millions in television commercials featuring songs such as Rock Me by Muddy Waters and I Ain't Superstitious by Howlin' Wolf.

Jimmy is joined on this album by an all-star group comprised of the legendary pianist Johnnie Johnson, who was the backbone of all Chuck Berry's greatest hits, harmonica virtuoso Carey Bell, bassist Dave Myers, drummer Ted Harvey and lead guitarist Jimmy D. Lane. This recording won a W.C. Handy Award for the Best Traditional Blues Album in 1995.

"Fans of Chicago blues aren't going to get any new recordings better than Jimmy Roger's Blue Bird... One of the reasons for the startling impact of this recording is the clear, resonant sound provided on both the LP and CD by Analogue Productions..."
-- Michael Ullman, Stereophile

"...this is a real 100% 1950s Chicago blues band and as can be expected the sounds they lay down are vintage and of the highest caliber. Finding a disc with such a pure and powerful Chicago blues on it in 1994 is a major revelation."
-- Andy Grigg, Westcoast Blues Review

"The finest-ever marriage of the blues and audiophile sonics, a bona fide blues session with sound quality, mastered by Doug Sax, never before associated with the genre. It's the most 'analogue-sounding' CD I've ever heard."
-- Ken Kessler, Hi Fi News & Record Review

Jimmy Rogers, in any Blues circle, is known as a true pioneer who helped forge the urban Chicago electric Blues that we know as classic today. It was Rogers who showed a young McKinley Morganfield, a.k.a. Muddy Waters, around Chicago in the 1940s, and the tandem formed the first and most-legendary Muddy Waters Band that scored hit after hit to help build the great Chess Records. While his fame was cemented through his tie to Muddy Waters, Rogers had a very accomplished career as a bandleader and in the end, wrote more hit blues songs than anyone but Willie Dixon. His classics — songs like "That's All Right," "You're The One," "Blues All Day Long," "Sloppy Drunk," "Walking By Myself" and "I Lost A Good Woman" — have been covered by so many stars, including Eric Clapton, Johnny Winter, Freddie King, Canned Heat, Buddy Guy, Little Milton, B.B. King and on and on.

Blue Bird, one of the last records Rogers made before his death in 1997, is the album that launched APO Records. APO recorded Rogers in Chicago along with some of his closest buddies and musical peers, including Carey Bell, Johnnie Johnson, Dave Myers, Ted Harvey and Rogers' son Jimmy D. Lane. This is Chicago blues at its most classic. In fact, the record picked up a coveted Handy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album of 1995.
