ROBBEN FORD: SINGER/SONGWRITER/MUSICIAN

ROBBEN FORD: Released his 14th Studio album A DAY IN NASHVILLE out March 4.2014. It may sound like it is a country album by the title, but it is not. It is a bluesy, jazz/fusion rock album for the ages.

Thom Jurek of ALL MUSIC says it best.
A Day in Nashville isn't raw, but it is immediate and soulful. It is the sound class musicians make when they simply get down to doing what they do best: playing together”.

Ford has been around a long time; the native Californian is sounding better as time goes by and it may have to do with his collaborations with best in the business like Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, George Harrison  KISS, Larry Carlton, Sonny Landreth, Michael McDonald, plus many more and has been named one of the top “100 Greatest Guitarists of the 20th Century” by Musician Magazine.  Ford has played on albums with Bonnie Raitt, Charlie Musselwhite, Dizzy Gillespie, Jimmy Witherspoon, Rickie Lee Jones, Ruthie Foster, John Mayall  & The Bluestreakers and more.
