Mark Ford: Mark Ford With The Robben Ford Band (1991)

Technically speaking, Mark Ford is right up there with the best in the business. Great tone and plenty of hot licks. If... these guys made a video and booked on Letterman, everyone would get rich. ~ - Doctor Dave Nicks, Music City BluesMark is on the cutting edge and is taking the harp into unknown territory, blazing a path that few will ever be able to follow. In all my 43 years, I have never heard any harpman do such a tasteful blend of blues, rock, and jazz. ~ Steve Harvell

This recording was not made to gain notoriety or further my career. Nor was it made to make money or be a success in the crazy world of music today. It was made, quite simply, as an expression of our love of music. For a musician there is nothing as pleasureable as playing and interacting with other musicians, letting the creative juices flow. And that is why we made this recording, because we love to play. there is nothing we would rather be doing, and we hope that others will enjoy the fruits of this interaction. So here it is, straight from our hearts to yours. ~ Mark Ford

The Ford Blues Band: The Ford Blues Band (1991)

For years now I have been performing and recording with a number of different blues artists. During that time I began to get ideas of my own as to what I thought would make for a good modern blues band. As I produced more and more projects for Blue Rock'It and other labels, these ideas became clearer. Finaly, I decided that it was time to call together Ronnie,Mark, and Garth to help me develop my Ford Blues Band concept.With no rehearsals, in just a little over twenty hours, we had completed this project. Everyone contributed to make the most of my basic ideas. Several of the songs were done in one take and we recorded it all as live as possible. A couple of these songs are Mark's, and a couple are pretty much straight ahead. "Insurance" is actually an arrangement by my brother Robben Ford. And then there were the special efforts of Garth, who not only played guitar but engineered at the same time.All in all, I am quite happy with the final product and I hope that those who isten to it will enjoy it as well.--Patrick Ford
