British-born, New York-bred songwriter Edward Rogers has announced the release of his fourth solo album, Porcelain, on November 8, 2011 with the premiere of the title track and a new video.
Rogers, who has been extremely prolific, began his career playing drums in several garage bands. When a subway accident in October 1985 left him without his right arm and right leg below the knee, he turned to songwriting and found that he enjoyed singing and writing more rewarding than playing drums. In addition to his four solo albums, Rogers has also released two with Bedsit Poets, a folk/Brit-inspired trio whose name was given to them by The Zombies’ Colin Blunstone. He has played extensively in New York, Los Angeles, London, Canada, and along the East Coast both solo and with Bedsit Poets.
You can listen to the title track from the album right here.
For some reason this song just flows with the video, one of my current faves.
