Into The Sun

Description

Sophisticated guitar hero Robben Fords new album Into the Sun shines a bright light on his artful, contemporary songwriting and the stunning playing thats made him a favourite foil of Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell and other legends. With guest appearances by ZZ Ward (who also co-wrote Breath of Me), Grammy winner Keb Mo, Govt Mule and Allman Brothers guitarist Warren Haynes, pedal steel guitar star Robert Randolph, six-string slide legend Sonny Landreth and up-and-coming star Tyler Bryant. Into the Sun explores the depths of Fords vision and expands the roots-oriented sound of his recent albums A Day in Nashville and Bringing It Back Home with a palette that also equally incorporates his jazz, pop and rock chops. The album was engineered by Niko Bolas, whose credits include Neil Young, My Morning Jacket, and Boz Scaggs. I think of my music as modern, but coming out of a tradition, says Ford. So this album is very obviously contemporary of these times. It also perfectly captures Fords stunning creativity and writes a new chapter in his brilliant musical history.
