WBCQ Airdate - 7/8/23
Welcome to Fluxedo Junction! Each episode we bring you the best music of all genres from throughout the world, and this week we’ll be speaking with guitarist, singer, and songwriter Marc Ford. Marc ranks as one of the world’s preeminent guitarists, and his song craft commands the utmost respect. Having begun his career during the 1980s with his group Burning Tree - he then went on to join the Black Crowes in late 1991. He toured and recorded on three of the Crowe’s finest albums - The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, Amorica and Three Snakes and One Charm. After some time off from the band, he rejoined in 2005-2006 when they toured and released The Lost Crowes - two albums the band never released when he was a member. In 2002 Ford released his first solo album, It’s About Time - which began a period of surviving in a cutthroat music business while also being a dedicated family man. Ford won a NAACP award for his work on the Ben Harper and Blind Boys of Alabama album There Will Be A Light, and he has produced, performed and recorded with artists as diverse as Ryan Bingham, Pawnshop Kings, Steepwater Band, Izzy Stradlin, Gov’t. Mule, The Jayhawks, Ivan Neville, and Mike Campbell.
Mark’s most recent release is the Live In Germany, which is available through all major streaming services and online music stores, and through his website at www.marcformusic.com
