Robben Ford
Truth
The Story
While recognized by his peers and critics as a superlative instrumentalist and technician, Robben 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.
