Artist Biography by Stacia Proefrock
Born in Arkansas, Roy Hogsed
(b. 1919, d. 1978) relocated to San Diego at the beginning of his
career. He was responsible for one of the most original sounds in
post-war country music, often throwing in elements of the not-yet
articulated styles of rockabilly and rock & roll. His Rainbow Riders
Trio combined accordion, guitar and slapped-bass rhythm to help produce
hits like his version of "Cocaine Blues." Several other hits were made
by him with a larger band format, including "Snake Dance Boogie," "Let
Your Pendulum Swing," and "Aint a Bump in the Road." His career lasted
from 1947, when he made his first singles for Coast Records to 1954,
when he made his last record for Capitol. He had a limited impact on the
larger country music scene, largely because of his location in San
Diego instead of another musical powerhouse like Nashville or L.A., but
his music remains a fascinating anomaly regardless.
