Music reviews of Authorized Bootleg
Music Review: Another side of Robben's playing
Rating: 4 Stars
Robben Ford, one of the best of the studio guitarists of his generation, shows that he has also mastered being a band leader and playing live. This set, taken from an acoustic set at the Bay Area jazz club Yoshi's, was originally recorded for broadcast by the San Francisco FM station KFOG, so it has nice sound. Don't be intimidated by the "authorized bootleg" subtitle, this is a professional recording of a 1995 date.
Stylistically, this is a relaxed and tasteful ensemble album. Perhaps not as blues based as some of his excellent electric albums, like "Talk To Your Daughter", or my favorite of Robben's recordings, "Supernatural", but still in the same vein. He has a suprisingly soulful singing voice for a guitarist's guitarist, but it is his wonderful phrasing and guitar parts that really shine for me.
Similar albums that I really enjoy are Nils Lofgren's "Acoustic Live", and the british instrumentalist Antonio Forcione's "Live" CD on the Naim label. If you get a chance, go and see Robben play live, he is one of the great unsung masters of the guitar.
