Description
A member of Muddy Waters's 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's family, collaborators, and peers to follow a life spent in the blues. Goins's account takes Rogers from recording Chess classics to playing Chicago clubs 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.
