5.0 out of 5 stars
You'll play this one a lot!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blue Moon (Audio CD)
This is one great album. Don't buy it until you have time to listen to it several times at one sitting, because you will want to play it over and over. It just sounds great. Ford's playing is crisp and smooth. His voice is a little thin for the blues, but still sounds good. Something For the Pain, Indianola, and You're Gonna Be Sorry are terrific blends of jazz, rock and blues. A lot of jazz and blues guitarists get a little out there in terms of improvisational riffs. On this album Ford plays straight ahead melodies that are fun to listen to. You'll wear out the ol' air guitar listening to this one. Enjoy.

Exceptional Performance!,
By deepbluereview "deepbluereview" (SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blue Moon (Audio CD)
Robben Ford has been extremely busy over the last couple of years. Since his 1999, release "Supernatural", he has released the 2001, "Paul Butterfield Tribute", the 2002, "Jing Chi" CD with Vinnie Colaiuta and Jimmy Halsip and now, "Blue Moon", which, like "Jing Chi" also features Colaiuta on drums. Robben Ford has also dropped his label in favor of Concord Records and, for those guitarst out there, his Fender RF model guitar in favor of a Fender Telecaster. The result? Robben's most exciting release in years. Ford's blues fans will be happy to know that despite Ford's earlier Jazz releases and Concord Record's focus on some formidable jazz artists such as the Rippingtons, Herb Ellis, Gary Burton, Dave Weckl and Eric Marienthal, Robben's new material remains true to the Blues. On this disc, Ford demonstrates some rather exceptional guitar playing, as well as performances on the Wurlitzer and the Piano on a couple of tracks. The CD contains mostly new and original material although Robben has included a sensational cover of Little Walter Jacobs "Up The Line" as well as Willie Dixon's "It Don't Make Sense", which is performed extremely well. The CD's highlights while hard to choose, are probably "Something For The Pain" which has a rather lively beat and uptempo guitar and the slow blues cover of "It Don't Make Sense". Simply Outstanding!

"Concord Jazz welcomes a new member...Robben Ford",
This review is from: Blue Moon (Audio CD)
This is one of the best albums released by Robben Ford since "Handful of Blues"(1995),"Blues Collection"(1997) and "Tiger Walk"(1997)...featuring tunes like "Rugged Road" and "When I Leave Here"...but with this release from Concord Jazz, we find more Jazz with a taste of blues. Stand outs ~ "INDIANOLA", shows how much of a guitarist he is, tremendous arrangement Super job by Concord Jazz, Glen Barros and John Burk (executive producers)...a big Total Time: 59:03 on 12 Tracks ~ Concord Jazz CCD-2112 ~ (2002)
