The legendary co-founder of The Doors, Ray Manzarek and the critically acclaimed slide/blues guitarist Roy Rogers have put their artistic minds together and have truly created a captivating new duet album for Friday Music entitled Ballads Before The Rain. The nine instrumental works that make up this debut album are sonically some of the finest recordings to be released this year, and we are very proud to have both of these fine gentlemen on board with this incredible new release.

Audiophile fanatics and fans alike will truly dig the amazing new takes on Doors classics like "The Crystal Ship" and "Riders On The Storm", as well as the other blues/jazz/classical tracks that define the utmost level of musicianship that each of these award winning composers/producers/ performers display.
What was Jim Morrison really like? The Doors' keyboardist and member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ray Manzarek will share his personal insights and play great music including Doors classics. Joining and jamming with Ray on stage for the evening is Sonoma County's own Roy Rogers. Roy is one of the premier slide guitarists, a two time Grammy Award Nominee, and well known for his exciting live performances with John Lee Hooker, Norton Buffalo, and The Delta Rhythm Kings. This combined with the legendary Ray Manzarek's charismatic story telling and keyboard playing make for a can't miss special evening of spoken word and music.
