Albums Worth A Listen

Four times Grammy Nominee Robben Ford has distinguished himself in a variety of genres, from R&B to jazz-fusion. The guitarist/singer's first love has always been the blues, an idiom he has explored at several points in his richly varied career. Ford's new album, "Blue Moon" - his first recording for the Concord label - takes the eclectic musician back to his musical roots. From the very first track - a spirited take on Little Walter's "Up The Line" - it's clear that Ford is a rarity among musicians: a technical virtuoso who can play with true blues authenticity. Robben's own compositions for "Blue Moon" take in a broad emotional range, from the jazzy film noir mood of "Good to Love" to the smooth Muscle Shoals groove of "Don't Deny Your Love" to the all out grit of "Indianola" - Robben's instrumental tribute to B.B. King.
