Robben Ford is regarded as one of the most versatile guitarists on the American music scene. Throughout a career that has spanned over three decades, Ford has established himself as a “musician’s musician” who is respected as a blues, jazz, R&B, and rock artist. Although Ford has never achieved widespread recognition and his records receive little radio airplay, he has a strong following of listeners, mainly musicians themselves, who respect his blues and jazz credentials and his musical virtuosity in both genres. Ford embarked on his musical journey in the late 1960s, and his sights have remained focused on the music and where it can take him.
Ford was born on December 16, 1951, in the Northern California town of Ukiah. His father, Charles Ford, was a professional guitar player, and members of his family all had musical leanings, including his mother, who played piano, and his two brothers, Patrick and Mark. He recalled to Tom Cardy in New Zealand’s Dominion Post, “[It] was probably 1966 when I started hearing Chicago blues which was [then] mainly played by white artists. [The Paul Butterfield Band] was actually an integrated band out of Chicago and they were definitely playing the music in an authentic way. Mike Bloomfield’s guitar playing just knocked me out. That’s really what made me want to get serious about playing the guitar.”
Other musicians have enjoyed these tunes as well.
