Rockabilly rover Mick Rogers has a knack for being in the right place at the right time – usually. Best known as lead guitarist in Manfred Mann’s Earth Band between ’71 and ’75, he’s played alongside a host of rock icons.
His right-place-right-time good fortune, however, wasn’t operating when he left the Earth Band a year before their hit cover of Bruce Springsteen’s Blinded by the Light. He did, however, later reunite with them, and in the intervening years he led and played in many bands – most notably Aviator – and was even in consideration to replace Peter Gabriel in Genesis.
