Ford
nasceu em Woodlake, Califórnia, mas cresceu em Ukiah, Califórnia, e
começou a tocar saxofone aos 10 anos, pegando a guitarra aos 13 anos.
Robben e seus irmãos Mark (gaita) e Patrick Ford (bateria) tinham uma
banda chamada a Charles Ford Blues Band em homenagem a seu pai.
Ford
começou a tocar profissionalmente aos 18 anos quando o Charles Ford
Blues Band fez um show de apoio para Charlie Musselwhite. A banda
também gravou dois álbuns “The Charles Ford Band” e “Discovering The
Blues”. Em seguida Ford montou uma banda com músicos da Bay Area, que
se tornou banda de apoio de Jimmy Witherspoon. Ford gravou dois álbuns
com Witherspoon, “Live” e “Spoonful”. A Ford Blues Band se reúne
periodicamente, e lançou álbuns ao vivo na década de 1980 e 1990.
Na
década de 1970, Ford começou a expandir sua música para a fusão de
jazz (jazz fusion), e juntou-se ao L.A. Express liderado pelo
saxofonista Tom Scott em 1974. Naquele mesmo ano, eles abriram para
George Harrison em sua turnê americana. Além de gravar álbuns de
fusion, serviu também como banda de apoio de Joni Mitchell gravando
“Hissing of Summer Lawns” e seu álbum ao vivo, “Miles of Aisles”.
Depois
de deixar o L.A. Express em 1976, Ford gravou seu álbum solo, “The
Inside Story” com uma banda que viria a ser a Yellowjackets. Ele passou
a desempenhar um papel de protagonista nos dois primeiros álbuns do
Yellowjackets, embora ele tenha sido listado como um artista convidado,
devido a acordos contratuais de gravadora.
Ford
trabalhou brevemente com Miles Davis em 1986; ele pode ser ouvido no
álbum “Davis 'Montreux box set”. Ford lança seu próximo álbum, chamado
“Talk to Your Daughter” em 1988, um retorno a suas raízes blues. Em 1989
ele se juntou a Philippe Saisse, Marcus Miller e JT Lewis na formação
do The Sunday Night Band para a segunda temporada do aclamado programa
de televisão da NBC, Sunday Night. Seu melhor trabalho na década de
1990 inclui “Robben Ford and the Blue Line”, e “Tiger Walk”. Além de
gravar e excursionar com sua própria banda de blues, Ford continuou a
fazer turnês e tocar com outras bandas / artistas como Jing Chi (sua
banda de fusion), Gregg Allman e Phil Lesh. Ele recebeu indicações para
quatro prêmios Grammy.
Existem
várias bandas de tributo à Ford. Ford foi nomeado um dos "100 melhores
Guitarristas do Século 20" pela revista Musician.
Ford usa
amplificadores Dumble desde o início de 1980, e prefere alto-falantes
Celestion G12-65. Quando viaja para o exterior, ele tende a usar
amplificadores alugados Fender Super Reverb, juntamente com um pedal de
overdrive Zendrive fabricado pela Hermida Audio. A fábrica de
guitarras Fender fez um modelo de guitarra assinatura Robben Ford,
inicialmente baseado no modelo de guitarra japonesa Fender Espirit
Ultra, que foi desenvolvido por Dan Smith, juntamente com John
Carruthers e evoluiu para um modelo da US Custom Shop da própria Fender,
até que foi descontinuado em 2002.
O
luthier americano Gene Baker também fez um modelo de assinatura Robben
Ford. Ultimamente, Ford tende a usar uma Fender Telecaster vintage
1960, Gibson Les Pauls e uma guitarra custom-made feita por Taku
Sakashta.
Ford é casado com a cantora de cabaré Anne Kerry Ford, e
colaborou com ela em vários projetos. Seu sobrinho, Gabe Ford, também é
músico. Texto: Wikipédia.
