Well-known guitar virtuoso Robben Ford is gearing up for the release of his new album Pure later this summer. Nominated for five Grammy Awards, Ford has played with everyone from Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis, Phil Lesh, and Greg Allman.
The new single ‘Balafon’ was one of the first two tracks that came together for the record. Pure is the first fully instrumental studio album from Ford since 1987’s Tiger Walk. Featuring nine killer tracks, you’ll hear elements of jazz, blues, and rock with exceptional guests featured throughout.
I feel that Pure is perhaps the most complete representation of my personal musical vision. Previous recordings having been products of a period of development that lead to the music presented here. It’s been very satisfying to have shaped my own compositions so thoroughly and to deliver something so completely my own.
