Robben Ford - Bringing It Back Home - LP [ Record ]

GRAMMY NOMINATED GUITAR VIRTUOSO ROBBEN FORD RETURNS TO HIS BLUES ROOTS WITH NEW RELEASE ON PROVOGUE RECORDS.

Bringing It Back Home's all-star line-up features organist Larry Goldings, drummer Harvey Mason, bassist David Piltch and trombonist Steve Baxter. 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 it's 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. Ford, who Musician magazine called one of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of the 20th Century," developed his reputation in the jazz and pop world of the 1970s and '80s as a solo artist, a member of the ground-breaking fusion group L.A. Express and a sideman with Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis and others. But he emerged from northern California in the '60s as part of the Charles Ford Blues Band. In that group - formed with his brothers and named after their father - he supported blues legends Jimmy Witherspoon and Charlie Musselwhite, getting a hands-on education in the style. Bringing It Back Home revisits and reshapes the roots of Ford's first musical love. The guitar kingpin selected 10 tunes from the blues canon, ranging from early Delta pioneer Charley Patton's "Bird's Nest Bound" to Bob Dylan's "You Go Your Way and I Go Mine," and, along with a hand-picked team of A-list players, crafted dynamic, new and highly original arrangements for each song in the studio.
