This review is from: The Robben Ford Blues Guitar Collection (Paperback)

I'm quite pleased with this book. It offers a nice balance: uptempo shuffles, instrumentals, ballads, etc. It's hard to fault the accuracy of the tabs, too. Only two details prevent the book from getting the full five-star review. First, it offers nothing from Talk To Your Daughter, which, to my mind, features some of Robben's best blues guitar work. Second, while the tabs are accurate, the book lacks any kind of editoral annotations, introductions, etc. that would address (and help explain to those interested) Ford's sophisticated musical ideas.
