Exclusive Song Premiere and Video: Robben Ford Covers James Cotton's "Cut You Loose"
Today, Guitar Aficionado presents the exclusive premiere of "Cut You Loose," a new recording by guitarist Robben Ford.
The track — which originally was recorded by James Cotton — is from Ford's upcoming album, 'A Day in Nashville,' which will be released March 4 via Mascot Label Group/Provogue.
The album, the followup to 2013's 'Bringing It Back Home,' was originally planned as a live album to be recorded during Ford's 2013 European tour. Instead, he decided to challenge himself and his band by doing something he's never done before: record an album live in the studio — in one session.
Ford and his band spent a day in the Music City studio Sound Kitchen, invited some friends and recorded seven new songs penned by Ford, along with his version of Maceo Merriweather's "Poor Kelly Blues" and "Cut You Loose," which you can check out below. Note that you can hear the song via the Soundcloud play — and watch a video of Ford performing and discussing the song at the bottom of this story.
"We had a great experience," said Ford, who was joined by guitarist Audley Freed, keyboardist Ricky Peterson, bassist Brian Allen, drummer Wes Little and trombonist Barry Green. "We decided to make the record in a controlled environment, but treat it like a live show."
