Title: Buyer beware
Product review: Bad news, Robben Ford fans, this is not a new CD by the master blues guitarist, it's a re-issue of a CD that in an earlier incarnation was entitled "Blues Connotation", and even then this product was mislabelled as a Robben Ford project when in fact it's taken from recordings of the late '80s and early '90s led by a drummer named Jerry Granelli, and if you search "Jerry Granelli" here on Amazon for his CDs, you'll find these same tracks listed on one of Granelli's CDs under an entirely different title. Robben and the other stellar players listed on this recording (Charlie Haden, Bill Frisell, Kenny Garrett, etc.) were obviously drafted as guns-for-hire on the date, but despite the plethora of talent here, the music itself is criminally boring. It sounds like everyone started noodling in the studio hoping something would happen, but these arrangements and the choice of material will put you to sleep. I seriously doubt this is a Robben Ford-approved reissue. Save your cash.
