Roger's most recent album "Live From Mars" came out about a year ago or so.
It is on Hollywood records HR-62086-2. You can get it from CD Now and a
lot of other places, and it includes versions of a lot of his great songs
mostly done acoustically along with a lot of stagte patter re the origins
or first recordings of the songs. He has had a long career (he started out
playing behind the Kingston Trio) and he has a lot of funny stories to
tell. Some of the material on the record sounds quite different done solo
and acoustically (although he does use his Rickenbacker a couple times)
than it did on record, and it is a great album. I am sure you will enjoy
it. It also includes two great studio cuts as a kind of bonus. On the
studio cuts, he is backed by some of the people who used to make up thje
Jayhawks...another great electric band with a LOT of folk influences...
