I have listened to Marc Ford for years, as a member of the crowes, always loved his playing, there are a lot of great live shows floating around out there, this album, it is not the crowes, in fact it is much better in my opinion than a lot of the crowes material. I read reviews saying that this album downplayed his guitar playing,and that really is a crock, there is some excellent guitar throughout, guitar playing is not all solos! Great slide work, which is to be expected from one of the best slide players on the planet. More important than any of that, is that this is really a solid album when it comes to the songs, they are all great! enjoy!
