Robben Ford Discussion

Has anyone got the chord voicings used on "Top of the Hill"??

Chuck is great - I got his BWB series recently and it is very good.

Mat Schofield has lots of influences, I saw the Organ trio first when he was doing stuff like "Uncle Junior" by Soulive ...

I wondered if RF could release through Larry Carlton's 335 records, if no deal is on the horizon. I'm sure Concord would want to keep as many great artists on their books though!

The guy is just o ...

I went last night - similar setlist, I thought the slow jam section of the new track was reminiscent of the jam section at the end of Too Rolling Stoned by Robin Trower. This band are superb, the bes ...

The Jazz Cafe in London is now advertising RF live on Fri 17 & Sat 18 July

Looks like the July dates are moving - The Stables concert is now Tuesday 14th July (shown on their website) so the London JC dates will probably move.

I saw him at the Stables in Milton Keynes on Monday night, again a superb show and well worth the 4 hour round trip drive. The acoustic stuff was a pleasant surprise too. I'll have to enlarge the pi ...

Great stuff, got mine to the UK via Ebay USA, not available here yet. Strange it's not shown in Robben's website store yet either.

Another personal aquaintance, Billy Powell, keyboardist and original Lynard Skynard member, is dead... passed away last night. I last saw him in Nashville at the BMI awards 2 months ago.
No cause of ...

Nice to hear some Hammond sounds in there, shame it's not a full B3.

I have a few Fenders and my only problem with the new ones (with the PCB's) has been the tubes failing quickly. My Deluxe RI output tubes failed almost immediately but runs fine with a set of cheaper ...

Another one I thought would be around forever. I must listen to the slow Voodoo Chile again tonight on vinyl - he is superb on that track and it sums up his jazzy style really well. The perfect drum ...

The originals still crop up on Ebay, I bagged four from a 1979 Marshall cab not long after they were listed some time ago for just £120 - the lower two from the bottom of the cab needed a bit of a cle ...
