Robben Ford
Talk To Your Daughter
The Story
The late '70s and early '80s were a fertile period for guitarist Robben Ford, with session work with everyone from Little Feat to Michael McDonald, David Sanborn and a stint with jazz giant Miles Davis."This was the period of time when people first started hearing about me," states Ford. "So consequently I was labeled 'fusion guitar player Robben Ford,' or 'L.A. session man.' and it just wasn't true, not in my heart, anyway, and it wasn't until my second album, "Talk To Your Daughter", in 1988, that I got to make my first blues offering. That album received a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Recording." The promotional tour for "Talk To Your Daughter" ultimately led to the formation of a full time blues-based band, Robben Ford & The Blue Line, with Roscoe Beck on bass and Tom Brechtlein on drums.
