In 1997, Roger decided that it was time to step to the next level. At the advice of his distributor, he decided to form his own record company, Bluestorm Records. This venture gave rise to the third CD, “The Business of The Blues”. The title track was written about the daily challenges of daily life on the road. Also featured on this CD are 5 acoustic tunes, which started to establish Roger’s acoustic work, which has become a separate entity, and occasional combination with his electric sound. Guest appearances by Francene Reed and Chicago Bob Nelson rounded out the project. The fourth CD is called “Live At The Stanhope House”, recorded at that legendary blues club in New Jersey. A fifth effort, all solo acoustic, “Pastime” has received critical acclaim, and a forthcoming release called “The Ohio Connection” is due out in mid June, 2004, as Wilson continues to cement his reputation as one of the premier blues musicians from the South. Legendary guitarist Les Paul lavished praise on Wilson’s playing after trading licks onstage in New York City saying, “That’s some great blues”. Spending more days each year playing live concerts than not has earned Wilson a devoted and ever-expanding following. In fact, the amount of time he spends on the road prompted Highways Magazine to note the over 250,000 miles Wilson has driven his motorhome to concerts! And the miles keep on accruing.
