FORMER BLACK CROWES GUITAR GURU FLYING SOLO IN SUPPORT OF NEW RELEASE WEARY AND WIRED ON BLUES BUREAUS RECORDS – IN STORES NOW!
HOLLYWOOD (May 20, 2007) – Marc Ford, the former Black Crowes ax-slinger, is heading out on tour in support of his new solo album Weary and Wired on [Blues Bureau Records].
Marc Ford, who has sold millions of albums worldwide and played in front of more than 50 million people across the globe, will impact the airwaves with his first solo album Weary and Wired March 13th [Blues Bureau Records]. Weary and Wired features Ford on guitars & vocals, Mark “Muddy” Dutton on bass and Doni Gray on drums.
Former Black Crowes’ blues-guitar guru has delivered an extraordinary 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 phenomenal guitar work that brings to mind such masters as Clapton, Hendrix and Beck.
