RAY MANZAREK -ROY ROGERS - 2011 TRANSLUCENT BLUES.
Translucent Blues brings a full rhythm section into the fold—featuring Steve Evans on bass and George Marsh on drums (collectively known as The Delta Rhythm Kings). The record bridges classic Chicago-style blues, searing slide guitar work, jazz-infused arrangements, and Manzarek’s signature, moody Vox/Hammond keyboard textures.

The songs ("CARMINA") were divided into three primary sections: Springtime - the life force renewed; In the Tavern - drinking and gambling; The Court of Love - passion, sensuality. The sections are pervaded and framed by The Wheel of Fortune ("O Fortuna") perpetually turning, perpetually governing the course of man's existence.
In 1983 Ray Manzarek, long attracted to the spiritual power of Carmina Burana, chose to interpret the piece in a contemporary framework. This presentation intends to create enchanted pictures; to conjure up the ecstasy expressed by the lyrics, an enhanced intense feeling for life akin to the passions and revelry of the wandering poets of so long ago
