The Lone Wild Bird

David Rogers
Sold through Guitar Nine thru 2012

The Lone Wild Bird features original compositions and virtuosic setings of American Folk hymns and spirituals all composed and performed by US guitarist, David Rogers. Southern hymns, African-American spirituals and original works are given a musically and instrumentall sophisticated, yet genuine treatment. The Washington Post has praised David's 'astonishingl florid' solo improvisational passage work. He has been called a 'modern master'of the classical guitar by 20th Century Guitar magazine. ClassicsToday.com has praised his 'first-rate instrumental artistry,' and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has written, "David Rogers played like a lead guitarist in a rock band. He laced the likes of "De El Pobo" with improvised, speedy solos way up into the wailing region of the fingerboard."
