Three DeBaser reviews chart Robben Ford’s blend of blues, jazz and fusion. Truth gets praised for refined, jazz-tinged blues; Talk to Your Daughter stands out as less predictable and a gold record; Bringing It Back Home is lauded instrumentally but dinged for vocal monotony. Across them all: impeccable technique, tasteful tone, and adult, polished musicianship.
