The book is about James Rogers and his journey. It is a story about his life, how music can bring the whole world together and offer peace in troubled times. The book discusses how James was shaped by his past, how he learned to develop his talent for music, and how it all tied together to that moment he saw the eagle flying. Most important of all, James talks about how the sight of the eagle and the danger of it going extinct, made him realize he could use his music to serve a greater cause. With a little help from friends, and a trusty old guitar, he managed to help preserve America’s national symbol.

James Rogers is no less than a Chattanooga area treasure! This gifted entertainer, songwriter, singer has been performing literally all over the world since the 1970s. He has played the Grand old Opry to Caesars palace and hundreds of places in between. James has worked with some of the biggest names in the business. The book Fly Eagle Fly is a must read, in fact, I’ve read it twice. I’m proud to also use this forum to say that James Rogers is one of the most honorable men I have known. I agree with Dolly Parton when she says, “James Rogers is a world class entertainer” get the book and if you get a chance to catch his show, don’t let that opportunity go by.

“So You Think You Know James Rogers”
James Rogers has had an incredible 50-year career, and I have known him for most of that time. “The Story of a Song” was a very pleasant surprise. I was expecting to re-live and re-love the stories I already knew. It turns out there was a lot I didn’t know, and I enjoyed every page. From James’ humble beginnings, to sharing a stage with the biggest names in the music business, he shares his remarkable life with us. He has every right to boast and brag, but instead he tells his stories as he has lived his life: with no ego, self-deprecating humor, and genuine gratitude. James is that rare person who has made a living doing what he loves, and that love shines through with every song, and in every chapter of this book. Whether you’re a longtime “JR” fan, or are just now getting on the bandwagon, this book will entertain you, and inspire you.

This book teaches you there are always two ways to look at your situation. The real talk begins when you start telling yourself if you can push harder to change your luck, or just give up. Great read.

I’m not a Fort Oglethorpe native but I wasn’t here long before I was introduced to the “local legend” James Rogers and his musical talents. His book takes you on his musical journey as he discovers his talent for writing and performing. He brings to life his experiences, his disappointments and successes in the music business and his personal life. His book inspires you, it makes you laugh, scares you at times and is a moving testimony to his success in music, his personal life and the famous, the infamous and the local people he’s interacted with over his fifty year career. His book reinforces his love for North Georgia and how fortunate we are to have his music, to benefit from his philanthropy and to call him friend.
-Chris McKeever
The Story of a Song – Fly Eagle Fly” by James Rogers was such a fun book to read. I am not a reader at all, but could not stop reading the honest stories and experiences that James told about his life, his career, and his determination to save the eagles. I have always loved the song and now I know the history behind it.
-Mary Goodwin
I’m honored to have been asked to write a review of James Rogers’ latest literary accomplishment Fly Eagle Fly: The Story of a Song. I’ve known James since 1964 during our high school days. Our friendship is founded upon love and honesty. So honestly, this book is not just a book! It’s so much more. When I read it I felt like I was back at James’ mom and dad’s house and we were sitting at the supper table across from each other. He was telling me about all the things he wanted to do when he grew up. I can still smell fried chicken being served! It’s that kind of book, its personal and James’ opens up about all the events that led him to write Fly Eagle Fly. As I read about it, I could see it all happening. James’ relates his stories so personally that you find yourself in the situation too. James’ ability to personally connect with his audience is glue that makes it a joy to read. Just as he does from the concert stage, you’ll feel a part of it too. So sit back in your favorite chair, kick off your shoes and prepare to have James tell how it all came about. Not to be cliche, but you’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you will love the homespun stories of this amazing entertainers’ personal stories of how the songs about God, Faith and Country came about. And if you’re outside someday and see an eagle soaring above, well, maybe you’ll sing “Fly Eagle Fly”. Happy Reading!
