On August 11th, 2009, Concord Records will release Soul on Ten, the fourth Concord release, and latest album from five-time Grammy nominee Robben Ford. The new live album captures Ford’s virtuosic skill and experience that had Musician Magazine dubbing him one of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of the 20th Century.”
Ford captures the intensity of the live experience throughout Soul of Ten. Eight of the ten tracks were recorded live over two nights at The Independent in San Francisco, CA last April - just across town from the Fillmore, where the northern California native grew up hearing the likes of B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix, Duane Allman, Eric Clapton, Jerry Garcia, Albert King, and Jimmy Page.
The album features three brand-new Robben Ford compositions in “Earthquake” and a pair of studio recordings, “Don’t Worry About Me” and “Thoughtless,” as well as covers of classic Chicago blues numbers in Willie Dixon’s “Spoonful” and Elmore James’ “Please Set a Date.” The tracklist also includes the title track and “Nothin’ to Nobody,” his collaboration with Michael McDonald from 1999’s Blue Thumb album, “Supernatural”, and “Indianola,” his B.B. King tribute, from 2002’s Blue Moon, to “There’s Never Be Another You” and “How Deep in the Blues (Do You Want to Go),” from 2007’s Truth.
