Brilliant but frustrating June 11, 2008
Ian Nutshell (Sheffield, England)

Bought in the wake of seeing Ford live at Sheffield's Boardwalk. It's a superb album, showcasing that superb, fluent musicianship. I've listened to it over and over. It's not a problem to me that it's easier on the ear and less edgy than other albums, indeed it means I can put it on in the car when the family is with me. The one factor that really irks me though is this. On the gig, Robben's finishes were sharp, and so imaginative and unexpected as to literally take my breath away. Why then, in the name of Seamus's trousers, does he fade so many of the tracks out in the studio? Pointless, and, for me, cost one star.
one of THE top players on the planet February 7, 2008
Alister King (London, England)
one of THE top players on the planet. Silky smooth jazzy blues with chops and tone in equal measure.
 Rumble with a Dumble December 8, 2007

Easily the most accesible of the Ford catalogue. Indeed, almost schmaltz at times - but he has always had that side to him. However, overall fantastic modern blues and must be played to those who think blues is still stuck in the 1950's or 30's.Great sounding cd, you can hear those expensive guitars and megabuck Dumble amplfiers justifying their cost.
The Jazzier End? September 11, 2007
J. M. Green (Sutton Coldfield)

I bought this album at the same time as Sloe Gin/Joe Bonamassa and it's interesting to see the various facets of the blues extolled by two of the best of the current crop of exponents of the genre.
Truth is a softer, jazzier variety of the blues and shows Robben at his subtle and understated best with not a single "dud" among this crop of tunes. Certainly one for Robben's fans but also one that should suck in more of the people who are currently enjoying the music of Mr Bonamassa too.
Sharp and clear production serve to highlight this man's songwriting and guitar playing with several well honed solos thrown in for good measure. If there is any complaint then it can only be in the lightweight vocals - Robben is tuneful, but can leave a bit of a void at times.......but then this is amply compensated by his exquisite guitar!
Not a "must have", but well worth a listen.
