Jimmy Witherspoon & Robben Ford - Jump Blues Live 1972 - Blues Hall of Fame vocalist Jimmy Witherspoon teams up with guitar hero Robben Ford at Hollywood's famed Troubadour in March of 1972. This never-before-released radio broadcast performance features nine tracks, including three Witherspoon originals plus classic songs from Willie Dixon, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Lieber and Stoller. This is one of the earliest recordings of Ford's extraordinary career, starting back in 1970 with Charlie Musselwhite and Witherspoon before joining Tom Scott's L.A. Express. He went on to shred with Steely Dan, Kiss, Yellow Jackets, Miles Davis and lead on 25 of his own albums This limited-edition vinyl release will be pressed on cobalt blue vinyl exclusive to Record Store Day. Blues vocalist Jimmy Witherspoon and blues guitarist Robben Ford are at the peak of their performing career during this 1972 recording, backed by a young but enthusiastic electric band that he had recruited after hearing them open for him in a club the previous year. With a fresh, young band in tow, one that was designed to capitalize upon the electric blues resurgence that had occurred in the those years, Witherspoon delivers a set list that ran the gamut from his early hit single Ain't Nobody's Business What I Do to a stampeding cover of the Jerry Leiber-Mike Stoller composition Kansas City. Witherspoon is in a playful mood, frequently speaking to the audience. The set is filled with several other Witherspoon's most popular numbers, including "Past Forty Blues," "My Babe" and "Spoonful.".
