Release Notes:

On his latest release, guitar legend Robben Ford speaks the truth...not just
with the sound of his guitar, but with the vision behind his music as he
ventures deep into the blues with aggressive licks, direct and honest vocals and
an uncharacteristic, yet appealing, rough edge. The CD also features Susan
Tedeschi on the song One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor. Robben will be on
tour throughout the Month of August 2007.

Not to be confused with Jeff Beck's identically titled 1968 album of crackling
blues-rock fusion, this disc incorporates Robben Ford's unique blend of blues
and jazz, but not rock. His first studio outing in four years shoehorns his
traditionally biting, incisive-yet-clean guitar licks into songs that can't
easily be pigeonholed. The opening easygoing Chicago shuffle of "Lateral Climb"
is about as bluesy as it gets. The tune kick-starts the proceedings with a
blazing solo that will have guitar fans salivating that this is finally the
release where Ford opens up on his instrument. But the set shifts into a
distinctive blend of R&B, jazz, smooth blues, and pop that displays the
multitalented musician's strengths as a supple, subtle, and inviting vocalist as
well as an intermittently skillful songwriter. A taut cover of Otis Redding's
"Nobody's Fault but Mine" finds Ford mining a Memphis groove, as does the
gospel-tinted "You're Gonna Need a Friend," cowritten with his wife. "Too Much"
features an ominous plodding beat that never quite connects until the slashing
solo, and the less said about the clich閐 B.B. King tribute "Riley B. King"
(cowritten with Keb' Mo') the better. But a rousing version of Paul Simon's "One
Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor" with Susan Tedeschi hits the soulful sweet
spot Ford occasionally misses with the sporadically bland, yet agreeably jazzy
fare that dominates this eclectic project's final third.
