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 Leiber & 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.
