Music Video Distributors and In-Akustik are pleased to announce the home viewing release of Robben Ford & The Blues Line ñ Live in Concert for North American distribution on DVD. This DVD features Robben Ford performing songs from his best selling album ìRobben Ford & The Blue Lineî. This is the show that music enthusiasts everywhere are looking for. There are not many musicians who move back and forth between blues and jazz in such a matter-of-fact way as the nimble-fingered American, Robben Ford. He taught himself guitar when he was 13 and considered his first influence to be Mike Bloomfield. At 18, he moved to San Francisco to form the Charles Ford Band (named after his father, who was also a guitarist) and was soon hired to play with Charles Musselwhite for nine months.In 1971, the Charles Ford Blues Band was re-formed and recorded for Arhoolie in early 1972. Ford played with Jimmy Witherspoon (1972-1973), the L.A. Express with Tom Scott (1974), George Harrison, and Joni Mitchell. In 1977, he was a founding member of the Yellowjackets, which he stayed with until 1983, simultaneously having a solo career and working as a session guitarist. In 1986, Ford toured with Miles Davis and he had two separate periods (1985 and 1987) with Sadao Watanabe, but he seemed to really find himself in 1992 when he returned to his roots: the blues. Ford formed a new group, the Blue Line, and has since recorded a couple of blues-rock numbers that are among the finest of his career. This DVD provides a brilliant live prospective of those tunes.Tracks include:The Brother You Cut Me To The Bone Worried Life Blues Start It Up Step On It Prison Of Love Tell Me I'm Your Man Talk To your Daughter Help The Poor
