CD Reviews
Heavy Blues Rock

"Wow, this is a great one that slipped up on me by taking a chance. I read the reviews and ordered it. It came and hasn't left the player. This is gritty blues rock at it's finest. There's a little Govt. Mule, Black Crows, boogie blues all mixed in to an original sound. There isn't anything pretty here."
AMAZING album. Marc Ford scores a hat trick!

"Marc Ford continues his success as a solo artist by releasing his third straight incredible album full of mean dirty blues, soul, and multi-textured sound-scapes. It's hard to express just how much I love this album. I've been listening to it almost constantly since I got it for Christmas. His first album "It's About Time" was more soul than blues. HIs second, "weary and wired" was mostly straight blues rock, and this one is a combination of the two, showing his growth as a guitarist and a songwriter. There are so many great songs on this album, but the one that sticks out most is "smilin.'" You can tell he knows a thing or two about guitars and getting great sounds out of them. Every lover of the blues should pick up this album. It puts Eric Clapton, Peter Green, and basically all other blues guitarists to shame. I know those are strong words, but this is possibly one of the best albums ever created and it makes me angry this isn't the top selling album right now. In a perfect world, it would be."
Back to the basics, great listen with mean guitar hooks.

"Marc Ford is doing what he does best...just letting lose with his guitar. Ford stretches himself nicely on this CD. Hopefully he allows himself to continue to grow as an artist. This CD is puts him in that direction."
