Weary And Wired
The Story
Marc Ford, former guitarist for the Black Crowes and Ben Harper, delivers a significant recording revealing his strength as a singer/songwriter. Fueled by large doses of phenomenal guitar work that bring to mind such masters as Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck. "Weary And Wired" in everything, and more, that fans would expect from this revered artist. Fans may remember that Ford put his stylized guitar stamp on the Black Crowes' records "The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion", "Amorica" and "Three Snakes And One Charm", as well as making two additional records with the band, "Tall" and "The Band" which were recorded in the '90s and were released in 2006. Ford also accepted an invitation to join Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals and toured with them, recording their EP and DVD entitled "Live At The Hollywood Bowl", and won a Grammy Award in 2004 for his involvement with Ben Harper and the Blind Boy's Of Alabama's record, "There Will Be A Light."
