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...  guitar9.com

...Blues and jazz-rock fusion guitarist and vocalist Robben Ford has created another first-rate recording that combines his two musical facets in a fairly seamless manner. His guitar work is outstanding, and though endowed with a voice rather unlike that of a typical blues singer, his vocals are quite appealing and soulful in his own way.
   This album, in some ways, is a throwback to the days when top Los Angeles studios musicians would get together to make a fusion-influenced recording. But such efforts have become increasingly rare, as fad-oriented music has come to dominate the commercial pop scene.
   The quality of the musicianship alone makes this CD very worthwhile, but the material is also strong, and for rock guitar fans, Ford provides plenty of playing to be studied for his combination of easy virtuosity and succinctness...  georgegraham.com
