Robben Ford A Daay IN Nashville

Guitar giant Robben Ford’s new album Bringing It Back Home is a stunning study in soul, style and virtuosity that cuts to the heart with its exceptional, emotion-laden musicianship. The disc also brings the five-time Grammy nominated stage and studio legend back to his earliest roots as a performer, playing blues.

As one of the most emulated blues players of our time, Robben Ford's impeccable soloing techniques, phrasing and tone have been the subject of several books and videos, but for the first time, Robben brings his smooth and tasty rhythm playing to the foref

Robben Ford's "The Blues Collection", is a sampling of blues recordings featuring the remarkable guitarist stretching from 1971-72, through 1982-84 and finally 1991-92. Included are four instrumental tracks - "Excuse My Blues", "Blue Stu", "The Cotton Creeper", and "Pretty Woman", the last of which was recorded live at the Notodden Blues Festival. Harp fans will be thrilled to hear brother Mark Ford blowing on six ot the cuts, and Charles Musselwhite on three others. Four of the tracks are previously unreleased ("Excuse My Blues", "The Cotton Creeper", "Take Out Some Insurance" and "Help The Poor") and the Jimmy Witherspoon track "Going Down Slow" was also recorded live at the Notodden Blues Festival. Robben Ford is without a doubt one of the most creative and honest men to play, write and arrange in the blues idiom. He feels it as well as understands it. He is Robben Ford, and there is none better.
