Album Review
On Handful of Blues, Robben Ford strips his sound back to the basics, recording a set of blues with only a bassist and a drummer. The group runs through a handful of standards, including "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and "I Just Want to Make Love to You," and a number of made-to-order originals. Throughout the album the musicians play well, but Ford's voice is never commanding. However, this is a minor flaw, since his guitar speaks for itself.
Customer Reviews
Good stuff
This album is really solid. The two scorching solos on Rugged Road are some of the best I've heard Ford play and they incorporate the jazz scales and blues chops that this guy is famous for. I love the notes he stops on. The sound he gets on the blues standard "Chevrolet" is just nasty. The Willie Dixon cover "I Just Wanna Make Love to You" reminds you of what the blues are about. This is one of his best albums.
So Tight
You wanna hear Robben tear up the whole tone scale and hear the legendary Dumble amps at their best? This is the record. Rugged Road is the tune that got me interested in Mr. Ford 10 years ago.
Great as usual
This yet another great album from robben ford. This man has the such great taste and such a beautiful tone. His singing is great as well. The only thing i could do without on this record is the harmonica.
