    Robben Ford - Discovering The Blues

    By christian cole  Sep 6, 2001 | 1 out of 1 found this Discovering the Blues review helpful

    This is by far the most outstanding Blues cd that I own. I am fan of Jimmi H., Stevie Ray and BB King, but in this live cd, Ford lays down some of the nastiest guitar rifts I have ever heard. Ford rolls through the spectrum of emotions leaving you ...astonished and drained while yearning for more. I have never played this album for anyone, blues fans or not, who has not asked for a copy. A must have for any Blues collection. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Discovering the Blues

  • All Music Guide

    Discovering the Blues is culled from a series of concerts Robben Ford gave in the early '70s at Huntington Beach's Golden Bear and Ash Grove in Hollywood. At the time, Ford was just beginning his career, and his style wasn't nearly as accomplished as it would later be. Instead, he simply burns, tearing through blues classics with a passion and vigor -- there is a joy of discovery in his playing which makes the music nearly transcendent, even with its flaws. Discovering the Blues is rawer than most records in Ford's catalog, but any serious fan will find it a necessary addition to their collection.
