'Resophonic
Retrospective' is a compilation of two previous projects:
1984's 'Fireball' and 1992's 'Route
2 To Amherst'.It is a ouble-length CD with 21 tracks
reflecting the trajectory of Roger Williams' lengthy career. This
all-instrumental recording features classic bluegrass tunes such
as “Fireball”, “Roanoke”,
and “Fire On The Mountain”; classic country
tunes including “Bouquet Of Roses”, “Crazy”,
and “No One Now”. There are also a number of
original tunes including the contemplative “Czech Inn”,
the bouncy “Pickin’ In Holland” (also
recorded by Leroy Mack of Kentucky
Colonels fame), and the rollicking “Route 2
To Amherst". Roger started playing the resophonic, Dobro style
guitar in 1963, when he was just a young teenager. Within the first
year, he had already debuted with The Lilly Brothers
& Don Stover at the Hillbilly Ranch
in Boston, Mass. where they had performed for nearly two decades.
Since then he has gone on to perform and/or record with many well
respected Bluegrass and folk acts on the national and international
circuit. Ray
