Robben Ford returns in exceptional form with ‘Two Shades Of Blue,’ a record defined by its sophistication, taste, and timeless musicality. The album will be released on 27 March via Provogue/Artone.
Robben is a man in motion. Scan the five-time Grammy nominee’s back catalogue – a half-century hot-streak that darts between jazz, rock, fusion and blues – and you’ll find a musician in a constant state of metamorphosis. Spin new album ‘Two Shades Of Blue’ – a transatlantic modern classic that shapeshifted as the sessions unfolded – and you’ll feel the risks taken and rules broken. “I have that curse,” smiles the 74-year-old guitarist. “I don’t have two records that sound the same…”
With a new album around the corner, Robben feels at the top of his game right now. To be released 27 March 2026 on Mascot/Provogue, ‘Two Shades Of Blue’ is not the album Ford was planning to make – but it’s all the better for it. Tracked in the US and UK with two different crack-squad bands, this album paints with his inimitable palette, from the low-slung funk-blues of lead single Make My Own Weather to skyscraping instrumentals that even test the limits of a player ranked amongst the 100 Greatest Guitarists Of The 20th Century by Musician Magazine.
