Muddy Rodgers



I was always a huge fan of Paul Rodgers. From his First band Free to Bad Company to The Firm with Jimmy Page to The Law and now heading the great band Queen. Rodgers has dont it all and in good fashion. All his bands have released great songs and some may say its because of Rodgers and his golden voice. Hes considered one of the greatest rock voices in rock and roll history. With great range and being able to bend a note with ease there's probably nothing Rodgers cant do. Hes always been influenced by the blues, you can surely hear it in his first band Free. But it wasn't untill the early 90's that Rodgers released his first full out blues album called Muddy Waters blues, it was a dedication to the late great blues singer Muddy Waters, covering his songs Rodgers was accompanied by legendary guitarists as David Gilmore, Slash, Jeff Beck, Steve Millar, and Gary Moore. But nothing compared as to when Buddy Guy stepped up to the guitar and laid down the blues like no ones business. Having played with Muddy before Buddy knew just how to bring back the old time electric blues like no body else. Rodgers voice alongside Buddy's guitar is a treat to hear.
