ROBBEN FORD - Truth (2007)
320
The blues will never die is an axiom proven over and over again, but it does change shape. Robben Fords latest Concord Records release, Truth presents blues as they are today: in a powerful setting only a master veteran like Ford could envision. The blues have always been socio-political, says Ford. In the opening song Lateral Climb, he addresses the 9 to 5 grind, credit card debt, and the political frustrations we all experience. Peace on My Mind was inspired by Willie Dixons It Dont Make Sense, You Cant Make Peace, which Ford describes as an anti-war song without being too preachy. If youre pointing the finger, no one wants to hear it. Its a portrait rather than a sermon. The truths I describe are self evident. In this set, Ford also incorporates playful tunes, like Youre Gonna Need a Friend, co-written by his wife and singer Anne Kerry Ford. In it, Ford subverts blues clichs, such as the evil lady who bedevils her victim. Other tracks on the CD include a funky cover of Paul Simons One Mans Ceiling Is Another Mans Floor, which features guest vocals by Susan Tedeschi, as well as loyal version of Otis Reddings early B-Side, Nobodys Fault But Mine.
