Former BLACK CROWES Guitarist MARK FORD To Embark On "Weary And Wired" Solo Trek
June 1, 2007, 17 years ago
Former BLACK CROWES guitarist MARK FORD is heading out on tour in support of his new solo album, Weary And Wired (on Blues Bureau Records).
Ford has delivered an album full of classic rock-soaked riffs, bluesy based crunch with Southern Rock twang.
“My influences go way beyond as I do not play nor do I listen to rock," explains Ford. “What influences my playing is folk, blues, jazz, gospel, country, reggae and the list goes on...”Weary And Wired is a significant recording showing Ford’s strength as a singer/songwriter, fueled by large doses of his guitar work that brings to mind such masters as ERIC CLAPTON, JIMI HENDRIX and JEFF BECK.
