Nathan Rogers: True Stories
The son of legendary Canadian folk singer Stan Rogers, Nathan Rogers is bound to draw interest. Fortunately, as a singer and performer, talent is hereditary. On this debut CD, Rogers melds traditional and original tunes that range in style from folk to blues to country to rock. He sings with the anger of Phil Ochs and a storytelling knack that emanates from his roots. His songs delve into Canadian life, the struggles of the working man in ‘Hibbing’ or the impact of the missionaries on the Huron people of Ste. Marie in ‘Mary’s Child’. Aside from his late father’s hairline, the younger Rogers’ inherited baritone growls with a timbre eerily reminiscent of his father’s. But even with almost a dozen musicians, Rogers’ voice and songs are at the forefront, and this delightful CD shows he has a promising future.
