Purple House

"There's a lot to be said for a blues oriented guitarist willing to explore new directions deep into a lengthy career that has straddled rock-blues, jazz and fusion. Robben Ford makes much of the fact that he never records similar albums ... Purple House isn't so much concerned with the amount of time it took to record, as the way it has embraces a bigger production, giving him additional electronic touches and an overall bigger sonic impact.It's also an album on which he has paid more attention to his songcraft and particularly the lyrics. His eclectic imagery engages the listener in an exercise of joining the dots between his musical feel and his words".

"Purple House is quite sophisticated but utterly enjoyable. The balance between its canny production, well-written songs, killer playing, and honest, emotional singing is downright inspiring".
