Music video for Roger Salloom’s “Don’t Let My Country Wash Away”. Shot, edited, and directed by Paul W. Preston (2017).


Roger Salloom has been called “America’s best unknown songwriter.” He
was in the center of the 1960s San Francisco pyschedelic scene, playing
the Fillmore with Santana, Van
Morrison, BB King and Procul Harum. In the 1970s he moved to Nashville
to pursue songwriting, then disappeared for 20 years to raise a family
as a single parent and draw a syndicated cartoon.



Imagine Jack Kerouac, John Belushi, Lord Buckley, Lenny Bruce, The
Diggers, and throw in Leadbelly, Jimmy Reed, Lonnie Johnson, Geoff
Muldaur, Dan Penn…all rolled into one person, and you have a glimpse of
this poet, singer-songwriter. Salloom performed with The Band, Steve
Forbert, Doc Watson, John Prine, to name a few.


A cross between blues, roots, Americana, country, and soul, Salloom
always speaks from his heart. He has a self-deprecating, humorous,
everyman quality, mixed with a powerful sensitivity and depth of
character.
