 | | Michael Roach was born in Washington D.C. in 1955, the son of farming parents from Buck Hill, South Carolina, who had migrated to the city more than a dozen years before. |
 | | Like their successors, the songster-bluesmen that Michael Roach learned from, were performers who also gained inspiration and knowledge from recordings, employing the intonations, rhythms, or simply the songs, which related to their own musical objectives. |
 | | Michael Roach, then; not a British blues singer, but uniquely, a songster-bluesman in Britain who not only looks over his shoulder but also looks ahead to a positive future for the Piedmont blues. |
