Summary: Robben Ford Mystic Mile
Comment: I've had this tape for quite a while now and wanted to update to a cd. What can you say about robbens playing, he does not disappoint. Clean playing, great tone, good songs, great version of political man.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Some of the best modern blues guitar you'll ever hear.
Comment: There are several great cuts on this album, and some incredible playing throughout. In particular, Worried Life Blues sports one of the most overwhelmingly awesome blues solos you'll ever hear. That one cut is worth the price of admission.
Customer Rating:
Summary: WOW... nobody plays guitar better
Comment: This is a MUST HAVE for blues guitar lovers. "Politician" is so hot, it jumps off of the CD. What a gifted musician Mr. Ford is, and backed by the hottest rhythm section you'll ever hope to hear from a blues band. No wonder Ford keeps getting Grammy nominations!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Comment: I've only recently come accross Robben Ford but I am already building up a collection. His singing voice is clean and his guitar work is excellent. The general feel of the album is both bluesey and rocky finishing on a very melow Mystic Mile. Excellent CD
Customer Rating:
Summary: mystic blues
Comment: The Mystic Mile exhibits Robben Ford's precision at playing smooth sophisticated blues. Ford sound is very elegant, modern and unique. This cd may be one of his best, demonstrating his song writing abilities as well as skill with the guitar. Most of the songs are written by Ford and they work cohesively to give the whole cd a somewhat "mystic" sound. The title cut, which wraps up the cd of 10 tracks,is perhaps the most mystical. It creates a vision of a mystic who is watching us, with a "strange sense of humor." Of the cover songs Politician written in '68, by Jack Bruce and Peter Brown is still true and relevant song today of political people trying to work both sides. If you like a more sophisticated blues with strong guitar work, this is a cd for you.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Robben Ford & the Blue Line is an electric blues trio, but it's a trio whose leader and guitarist played with Miles Davis and Joni Mitchell, whose drummer Tom Brechtlein played with Chick Corea and Wayne Shorter, and whose bassist Roscoe Beck played with Leonard Cohen. In other words, this is a blues band with serious jazz and singer-songwriter ambitions. Not surprisingly, these former instrumental sidemen are a lot better at infecting the blues with harmonically sophisticated solos and tricky rhythms than they are at singing or songwriting on their album, Mystic Mile. Songs like "Busted Up" or "Moth to a Flame," both penned by Ford, don't offer much in the way of a lyric, melody, or vocal, but they do build a serious groove around a challenging syncopated figure, and Ford's guitar comes roaring out of the rhythm with solos that don't merely vamp on the chord changes but take those changes into new harmonic territory. Thus it's not surprising that the album's one instrumental, the uptempo blues workout "The Plunge," and the two cover songs, the Cream's "Politician" and B.B. King's "Worried Life Blues," are the highlights. --Geoffrey Himes
