The American (California born), blues, jazz/fusion, rock guitarist, brings us a skillfully created album with his renditions of cover songs, by some of the best in the business and 2 original tracks. 
Ford saysMy concept was to put great players together with songs that have deep roots and rich emotional terrain, and to just let something beautiful happen. As it turns out, that’s exactly what occurred. The results are really pure and the most fun I’ve had making an album in years”.

Ford originally started out his musical career as a saxophonist, and played into his twenties. He began playing the guitar in his early teens, but really became enamored with the guitar when he had the opportunity to see Jimi Hendrix, and various other famous players at work.

Now the a Master of his craft, Ford travels the world offering Guitar workshops. He also offers an interactive guitar Master Class, called the Blues Revolution
