![]() If you work hard at something you’re going to get better. “For me,” Ford says, “it’s all about the art. As he’s done on every album he’s made since 1983, Ford used a Dumble Overdrive Special amplifier. “He gets great sounds instantly.” All the better to capture Ford’s glorious guitar tones, this time derived from four of his go-to instruments: a pair of Gibson SG’s from 19, his beloved 1960 Telecaster and his Gibson B-25 acoustic. “Niko is simply the best tracking engineer I’ve ever encountered,” says Ford. Into The Sun was recorded by Bolas, a collaborator of Ford’s since his all-instrumental 1997 album Tiger Walk. “Justified” is a sheer gas with Keb’ Mo’ and Ford trading tongue-in-cheek vocal lines as Randolph adds soaring pedal steel punctuation over Jim Cox’s purposefully wobbly honky tonk piano. ![]() “Working with Kyle was part of my desire to toss up everything and see what might happen, to get a fresh perspective,” says Ford. That quality reverberates in the four songs Ford co-wrote with Swan, married to the guitar giant’s own deep commitment to narrative. When you’re open to different concepts and approaches, the most beautiful things can happen.”Īll of the music and most of the lyrics from Into The Sun came directly from Ford, but he also collaborated with ZZ Ward on “Breath Of Me” and enlisted the enigmatic Kyle Swan, whose own recordings liberally mix images and styles to build articulate modernist-pop tone poems. I’ve worked very hard to master my craft as a musician and a songwriter, but other than relying on my strengths in those areas, I made sure there was room for new ideas and everything my collaborators brought to the music. “And the rule during the recording process was to have no lid on things. “This album is obviously of these times,” Ford says. It makes me very happy to have something so diverse.”Īlthough Ford’s recent releases have been hailed as returns to his musical roots - which go back to his discovery of blues as a teenager in the 1960s – Into The Sun is a clear departure, using tradition as a springboard to incorporate his timeless vocabulary of jazz, pop, blues and rock into a modern framework for his poetic lyrics and the most graceful, emotionally nuanced and melodic vocal performances of his career. There are a lot of different rhythms and colors and the way the instruments are used is really different on this and that track. “It has a positive vibe to it - a good time feel. “The album is really upbeat,” Ford relates. ![]() The album features a coterie of guests: gritty Southern rock newcomer Tyler Bryant on “Stone Cold Heaven,” Allman Brothers guitarist and Gov’t Mule frontman Warren Haynes on “High Heels And Throwing Things,” slide guitar guru Sonny Landreth on “So Long 4 U,” Americana and blues icon Keb’ Mo’ and pedal steel wizard Robert Randolph on “Justified,” and vocal sensation ZZ Ward on “Breath Of Me.” Niko Bolas, whose credits include Neil Young, John Mayer and Keith Richards, engineered. Into the Sun, which follows last year’s critically acclaimed A Day In Nashville and 2013’s Bringing It Back Home, explores the breadth of Ford’s sophisticated, visionary writing and playing, creating a new chapter in his brilliant musical history. There’s also Ford’s session and sideman work, which includes hundreds of concert appearances and albums by Bonnie Raitt, Barbara Streisand, Charlie Musselwhite, KISS, Ruthie Foster, Jimmy Witherspoon and Rickie Lee Jones. The five-time Grammy nominee describes the 11-song set as “one of the top recordings I’ve ever done” - a staggering observation considering his extensive discography, which embraces more than 35 albums under his own name and with his various bands. Guitar virtuoso Robben Ford’s forthcoming new album Into The Sun (Mascot Label Group) shines a bright light on his artful, contemporary songwriting and the stunning playing that’s made him a favorite foil of Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, George Harrison and other legends. ![]() ![]() ![]() The next time you search from the address bar or by right-clicking text on a web page and selecting the “Search the web” option, Edge will use your chosen search engine.

It was always easier for us to drive to a closer resort, but my family frequented Elk for the terrain and for the overall experience. I grew up in Delaware, a little over three hours from Elk.

![]() ![]() Cobain slowly swivels on his chair bringing a wry grin to bear and says, "I don't think MTV will let us play that," a reference to the band's appearance at 1992 MTV Awards, when they were banned from playing song. Before the highlight of the evening, a cover of Where Did You Sleep Last Night by Leadbelly, someone shouts out a request for Rape Me. And when Cobain sighs before the opening song, About a Girl, while staring in to the middle distance with something like terror in his eyes, it's hard not to think of the words he later wrote in a far from metaphorical suicide note: "The fact is, I can't fool you, any one of you".īut there was a lighter side to Cobain, too. The stage set certainly seems pregnant with meaning: dressed with black candles and white lilies, it couldn't look more like a funeral. It also supports both sides of the you-could-tell-something-was-wrong / it-was-just-a-good-gig argument. ![]() Many people will be familiar with this performance from the album, but even so this 66-minute unedited footage (including Something in the Way and Oh Me, which were cut from the original broadcast) makes fascinating viewing. But until now it has never been available as a video or DVD (bootlegs notwithstanding). When it was released seven months after Cobain took his own life, Nirvana: Unplugged in New York sold over 5m copies in America alone, topped the album charts in seven countries, and went on to win a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album. Others reckon it to be an interesting and eclectic example of the Unplugged format, but that any deeper meaning is the product of myth-making and hindsight. Some people consider it to be Kurt Cobain, the tortured genius, stripping both his songs, and himself, to the bone in a brilliant, painfully raw performance that amounts to a kind of suicide note. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here’s a proven fact: Cabbage has more nutrients than lettuce. This proves beyond question that fondness for coleslaw is genetic in 93.4% of the cases studied. My Grandfather Whitehouse and my father were of like mind when it came to coleslaw. I counter this by slipping a head of cabbage into the cart. This means that over the course of a year, we end up with 84.8% ragged bunches of dirty, bitter Romaine lettuce in our refrigerator and only 15.2% iceberg. Since I am busy making up facts, I will add that even when we go grocery shopping together, she makes more of the lettucey decisions than I do. The problem is that Marsha does more of the shopping than do I. Romaine lettuce has 14% more nutrients than does iceberg lettuce.ĭoing the math, this means that if I exclusively switch to Romaine versus exclusively eating iceberg, I will be a smidgen more nutrient-rich than before. Exactly 0.5% of the nutrients I absorb from my food comes from lettuce. Given those two bits of wisdom, I pledge to you that the facts I make up out of thin air will be some of the finest fake facts you’ve ever encountered. “Then you can distort them as you please.” As Will Rogers said, “It isn’t what we don’t know that gives us trouble, it’s what we know that ain’t so.” ![]() Plain and simple: Romaine lettuce has more nutrients than does iceberg.Įven so, let’s lay out some data which I will make up out of thin air.Īfter all, making up your own data is a great way to win an argument. Marsha’s argument has been extracted from the numerous articles she has read in health and nutrition magazines and websites. Some who are reading this may say that I have intentionally biased the arguments in favor of iceberg lettuce. She prefers the darker green, more bitter and much-more-difficult-to-prepare Romaine lettuce. Also, it is very easy to smack the head of lettuce on the countertop to free up the stalky core, which is easily pulled out. It requires little preparation time, as the inner leaves are nice and clean, protected as they are by the outer leaves. I prefer the cool, crisp taste and sweetness of iceberg lettuce. My beloved wife, Marsha, and I agree on nearly everything. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There are a few considerations to take into account for the rest of the home media options.

In other words, you have a much greater chance of finding ideal leads or candidates as opposed to using LinkedIn search filters alone. Now, not all LinkedIn profiles are publicly accessible through search engines, but most of them are.
