Robben Ford & The Blue Line: Robben Ford (vocals, guitar); Roscoe Beck (bass, background vocals); Tom Brechtlein (drums, background vocals).Additional personnel: Danny Kortchmar (guitar); Mark Ford (harmonica); Henry Butler (piano); Russell Ferrante (piano, electric piano); Ricky Peterson (Hammond organ).Recorded at Cherokee Studios, Los Angeles, California.All songs written or co-written by Robben Ford except "Chevrolet" (Ed Young/Lonny Young), "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" (Bennie Benjamin/Sal Marcus/Gloria Caldwell), "Think Twice" (Roscoe Beck) and "I Just Want To Make Love To You" (Willie Dixon).Personnel: Robben Ford (vocals, guitar); Danny Kortchmar (guitar); Mark Ford (harmonica); Russell Ferrante (piano, electric piano); Henry Butler (piano); Tom Brechtlein (drums, background vocals); C. Roscoe Beck (background vocals).Audio Mixer: Michael Brauer.Recording information: Cherokee Studios, L.A., CA; Sony Music Studios, New York, NY.Photographer: Jim Marshall .Unknown Contributor Role: Bruck Dawit.On Handful of Blues, Robben Ford strips his sound back to the basics, recording a set of blues with only a bassist and a drummer. The group runs through a handful of standards, including "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and "I Just Want to Make Love to You," and a number of made-to-order originals. Throughout the album the musicians play well, but Ford's voice is never commanding. However, this is a minor flaw, since his guitar speaks for itself. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Editorial Reviews
...an excellent outing from a guitarist whose taste and restraint should become more widely emulated...

this album is wonderful because you can find a lot of blues licks ( easy blues licks on "RUGGER ROAD" and a lovely shuffle on "TIRED OF TALKING) with some classic blues revisited by Robben's stile and tecnique as you can hear on "DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD"...... at the end a wonderful fusion guitar part on "STRONG WILL TO LEAVE"......
Excellent
