Editor's review
Ford's singular guitar style is a fixture on the contemporary blues scene. This time out he pays tribute to his roots with a song to B.B. ("Riley B. King") and the standard "Nobody's Fault But Mine." Siedah Garrett, Susan Tedeschi, and keyboardist extraordinaire Bernie Worrell join the party.
Biography
While recognized by his peers and critics as a superlative instrumentalist and technician, Ford insists writing songs has kept his career on an upward trajectory. Truth features superb playing, but more importantly, it tells a story.
Ford employs an all-star cast which includes guest vocalists Susan Tedeschi and Siedah Garrett, keyboardist Larry Goldings, bassist Chris Chaney, drummer Gary Novak along with keyboardist Bernie Worrell, and drummer/bassist Charley Drayton, both from Keith Richards’ Expensive Winos. The album also includes songwriting collaborations with Keb Mo, Nashville tunesmiths Gary Nicholson and Danny Flowers, his wife Anne Kerry Ford and his nephew Gabriel Ford.
Ford speaks the Truth… not just with the sound of his guitar, but the vision behind his music.
