With his soulful, bluesy guitar playing that skillfully combines a wide variety of rock influences, Robben Ford has proven himself time and again. His wide fan base will simply flip for his 2009 CD Soul On Ten. Regarding his latest CDa live in San Francisco set released by Concord Records, Ford says, What music is really about is what happens when its played in front of people. Thats when you really understand it. Thats what I wanted to capture. Nuf said! Soul On Ten simply smokes its way to the finish line. Featuring a number of Ford originalsincluding his B.B. King tribute, an instrumental called IndianolaSoul On Ten features Ford blazing away on electric guitar and lead vocals while backed up by Neal Evans (B-3 organ), Larry Carltons son Travis Carlton (bass) and Toss Panos (drums). Balancing out the Ford originals are his fresh covers of Willie Dixon (Spoonful) and Elmore James (Please Set A Date), along with tracks from Fords earlier releases, including his Blue Thumb Records CD Supernatural (1999), and a live version of his B.B. King tribute Indianola, from Blue Moon (2002.) The CD also features three brand new Robben Ford tracks and two new studio tracks entitled Dont Worry About Me (with its sociopolitical bent on societys ills) and Thoughtless, with Ford commenting Its a lonely road being a musician. But this is what I do. I have to do it. Regarding another new track here, Earthquake, Ford describes the song as a black comedy about the difficulties in maintaining relationships with the demands of a touring musician forced to be be away from home much of the time. Ford's on the road blues translate well on a CD that hurts so good but keeps you coming back for more. www.RobbenFord.com |
