Robben Ford - Softly Rolling


Ambidextrous

Should be listening to this late at night with a warm boost of bourbon, but I'm playing it now because I want to write about that awe you get with artists or individual tracks, and in this case listen to one of those tracks.

'Softly Rolling' is from Ford's album 'Schizophonic' and rather than his guitar playing, I love this track for the sax, played here in that mesmerising loop/echo effect that always gets to me. Shows how much I know: I thought I had better research and find out who is playing the sax, and of course it is Ford himself, apparently having started his musicianship by playing the saxophone before he took up the guitar for which he is probably better known.
