Robben Ford
Robben Ford was born in 1951 into a very musical family. Prior to joining the army his father Charles was a country and western singer and guitarist and his mother sang and played piano. When he was 10 he began to play an instrument for the first time, the saxophone. At thirteen he taught himself to play guitar after being inspired by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Soon after he began attending shows by artists such as Albert King, B.B. King, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin.
He had developed a love of jazz when playing saxophone and that persisted with him as guitar became his new passion. He started a band with his brothers named after their father. “The Charles Ford Band”. They ended up touring as the band for Charlie Musselwhite, a Chicago harmonica player.
Eventually he caught the ear of Jimmy Witherspoon, a well-known blues singer, who invited ford to join his touring band. While touring with him, he was spotted by band members of The L.A. Express who were preparing to go on tour with Joni Mitchell. They asked Robben to join them, which led to him playing with the group and Mitchell for two years. He then was asked to join George Harrison on his Dark Horse tour.
Ford was approached by Steeley Dan in 1977 to record the guitar solo for the song “Peg”, although they used a take by Jay Graydon in the end. In 1979 Ford recorded his first solo album, The Inside Story with his band the Yellowjackets. In 1986 he toured with Miles Davis for about six months. In 1992 He put together a band called the Blue Line which saw him return to a focus on the blues. He recorded three records with the group before disbanding it and focusing on solo work, including one record where he was backed by Keith Richard’s rhythm section.
Ford has won four Grammys and was picked by Musician magazine as one of the “100 greatest Guitarists of the 20th Century”.
In more recent years he’s not only continued to record and release new music, but has added teaching others to play guitar to his accomplished career.

Oh man... I feel guilty I can only give this one thumbs up.
Well this just made my morning
Damn I'm watching this everyday 2 weeks in a row now and can't get enough of it. Robben is a hell of an artist. Just brilliant. And Ruthie's singing is beyond perfection. We're lucky living in such times when technology made it possible to watch things like that from anywhere in the world. I guess we take it for granted most of time. Thanks for sharing!

Damn she’s got some golden pipes! This was just absolutely fantastic! They need to be a full-time band!
Holy Moly Ruthie can sing! The band was excellent! Robben Ford is total bad-ass on guitar! Incredible taste, touch and beautiful tone from that sweet Tele. Of all the guitars Robben has played through the years, I think he sounds the best on that Telecaster.
The singing, guitar, and keyboard balanced each other beautifully. One of the best versions I've ever heard of a really great song.
What a treat to have Robben Ford's guitar paired with Ruthie Foster's vocals. I could listen all day.
They made some real magic! Thanks for your comment. Glad you like what we do. Please share it! Thanks!
Hot Damn Robben setting that stage on fire and Ruthie singing her ass off..
robben ford 2017 guitarist of the year award..
And he deserves it! He's the Real Deal! Thanks for your comment. Glad you like what we do. Please share it! Thanks!
Wow This IS REALL BLUES Big Thanks Ruthie and Robben too
Just when you thought "stormy Monday" was beat to death 6 ways to sunday - there's still some "freshness" put on it !
You are right about that. It's everybody Blues Standard!
@Guitar Gangsta - I totally agree 100%!
Go Ruthie! And Ford, keep slingin' that guitar! The Guitar Man and the Blues Queen!
Amen!
And 2 of the nicest, most down-to-earth people you could ever meet, to boot!💗😊
Ruth is a force of nature where oh lord has this angel been
Damn Robben was playing the hell out of the guitar, what a performance
Best version of this song I’ve ever heard.
Well I guess nothing beats a sincere non-cocky guitar player, well done brother!
This is such a fantastic rendition of this song..... Man.......... Ruthie is totally singing her butt off from her heart and Robben also sounds killer.... But that organ solo by the great Bobby Sparks for me speaks to you in a special way with it's quiet start and use of the drawbars right up to the build and till the end of his solo.... The man just feels every note he plays..... All i can say is... Wow To This Whole Performance!!!!!!!!!
A blues CD with this band would be epic. Ruthie Foster is stunning and the interplay with Ford and Sparks would be amazing. Someone please make this happen.
We couldn't agree more! A stunning performance!
This is pretty close: www.amazon.com/Truth-According-Ruthie-Foster/dp/B001NHZ2KC
@@jconstant : thanks - heading there now!
Dang what a voice. Entire band sounds amazing. I think robben said she was one the best he ever played with.
Wow, what a great rendition this is!! Came for Robben and stayed for the band and Ruth‘s voice!!
What a legendary collaboration
known Ford was extraordinary.. but that woman's vocals!??! DAMN.. earned every bit the right to stand up there with him!👏👏
Ruthie is the real deal. Been following her for decades.
I love Ruthie! God, can she sing 🧡
Love her, loved the rendition, stunned by the keys, broad day light, oh music, oh Lord, do have mercy
Yeah, that's how its done!
To keep it simple, what a voice.
What a wonderfully high-fidelity recording of an elite group of musos. Thanks!
Great singing, yea
Breathe Ruthie! Wow!
This is wonderful!!!! What a voice! What a guitar !!!!
Bobby Sparks!!!!
Yes yes 👍
Damn, I wish I had all the youtube vids that Robben Ford is on on a single DVD(s). I'd be willing to pay some $ for that. That guy really knows how to support other musicians with some juicy playing, too.
agree. totally dedicated supporter.
The blues is second nature to me but ever once in a while god sends someone who can twist the ear a little farther today he sent Ruthy and robbed lord have mercy on me help me lord
Вокал-волшебный! Музыка-сказочно красивая! Шикарное исполнение! Спасибо!!! 🎶👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏
Robben Ford is god

I think Robben and Ruthie should do a record together. Great band too.

Did know Ruthie was so extremely good, but Robben Ford really surprised me. Was really good overall.

A verdadeira música gospel na mais bela voz de Ruthie
I hear Mike Bloomfield from Mr Ford in the version of this Stormy Monday.
j adore
Wow - very nice - love it.
incredible :-)
Nice one guys.
Hah! I just discovered her at Fur Piece with Jorma. She is a great rhythm player. And now here she is with my favorite.
Bobby Sparks RULEZ
Love it!! Thanks for sharing it!!
Yes sir!! :)
g r e a t !!!
This is right up there with Lee Michaels version
Nice!
♥♥♥
I like, reminds me of Jimmy Witherspoon, love yhe organ too.
Yes! Lovin' Spoonful!
💥💥💜💜💥💥
the 8 who gave this a thumbs down must be deaf......or have no soul!
GOOD STUFF, different from BB KING's version but also fine and bluesy !!
Ya gotta love a slow blues. Yes, its over done hehe, but heck, this one today is being done by the best.
The bio in incorrect. Robben was nominated for Grammys 5 times, but has not won any as yet. (From grammy.com.)
Because the Grammy voters are idiots!
does anyone know what amp at the top next to the drum? im really curious about it.. thanks!

Who was the one thumbs down?
5 people have their thumbs up an area of their backside they shouldn't be. Maybe trying to remove a stick! :D
broad daylight!!
Should have turned up the vocal mic equal to the guitar mic.
8 people hate music
Hummm. Koko reincarnated? I’ve heard many artists do this and this is good but no one did it better than the Allman Brothers. Not even T Bone.
She doesn't leave much room for fills. Most female singers don't.
If that’s true, then why do so many amazing musicians LOVE playing with her?!?
@@storyvillerox They get paid a lot.
nitetrane98 not by her
Always thought Robben should be a guitarist in a good band instead of trying to prove himself a singer, which let's be honest, he ain't! This proves it!
I’ve seen him being a sideman for both George Harrison and Joni Mitchell
@@rockitflashnot forgetting Jimmy Witherspoon back in the 70s!
She is good of course but she is not a blues singer
Ruthie could sing the telephone book in blues, rock, gospel, jazz, country, and/or Americana and blow the roof off a place - anytime, anywhere! Your comment, Marcius Viana, is not only false, it’s moot!
Sounds a little uninspired. The bass player and the organplayer almost seems like the didn´t wake up completely that day.
neither one of them anticipated being responsible for inspiring anyone upon waking up that day.
disappointing ..!!
what ...??
You .. are a Spokesman for R.F. ??
p.s.
try challenging yourself a bit with the vocabulary thing
it will help with dispelling the loser image
fair enough good sir...would you then be so kind...and bestow upon us, the privilege of better understanding what is so disappointing, about this performance...by regaling us with your elegant method of discernment, by which you have deduced such a masterful assessment?
Renter Smith
Will you be so kind as to enlighten us with your, no doubt esoteric, reasons for pontificating this marvellous version of an old chestnut as disappointing, with the proviso you are not an escapee from a lunatic asylum?
