Robben Ford's The Blues Collection, is a sampling of blues recordings featuring the remarkable guitarist stretching from 1971-72, through 1982-84 and finally 1991-92. Included are four instrumental tracks - "Excuse My Blues", "Blue Stu", "The Cotton Creeper", and "Pretty Woman", the last of which was recorded live at the Notodden Blues Festival. Harp fans will be thrilled to hear brother Mark Ford blowing on six ot the cuts, and Charles Musselwhite on three others. Four of the tracks are previously unreleased ("Excuse My Blues", "The Cotton Creeper", "Take Out Some Insurance" and "Help The Poor") and the Jimmy Witherspoon track "Going Down Slow" was also recorded live at the Notodden Blues Festival. Robben Ford is without a doubt one of the most creative and honest men to play, write and arrange in the blues idiom. He feels it as well as understands it. He is Robben Ford, and there is none better.
