10 Cash Box September 3, 1988 Blues Master Robben Ford By Gene Ferriter

Robben Ford is one of the most remarkable guitarists in any idiom, comfortable in a wide range of styles.

Most notably he is a blues master with so much finesse that he could single- handedly resurrect popular interest in the genre, much the same way and Robert Cray have done in recent years. His newly released album for Warner Brothers

Records is entitled Talk To Your Daughter and was an instant debut on the Cush Box Top Pop Album Chart. Robben has a rich history as a player that includes a tenure with Joni Mitchell, George Harrison, Michael McDonald and the legendary Miles ©Uvis as well as co-founding the Yellowjackets who used to be his back-up band. He has recorded for such diverse acts as Little Feat, Barbara Streisand, Kenny Loggins, Bonnie Raitt and Kiss. Having played in such varied con- King Diamond tacts, Talk To Your Daughter represents a return to his first real love, the blues. "When I listened to the first Blues Band album with By Joe Levy

Maggie had a band in high school, and they entered a talent show, sponsored by Johnny Florton and Tillman Franks, in Lubbock, Texas. “My band won,” Maggie smiled. “Our prize was an appearance on the Louisiana Flayride. That got me to Shreveport,

(her hometown now), where I worked road dates with the Hayride artists. When the Hayride closed down, 1 moved to Nash- ville and went to work for Shelby Singleton as a writer, and I worked in production and promotion, too. It gave me a good education in the music business."

Maggie was also an artist on Capitol Records, and she recorded one of her own compositions. ..“I Almost Called Your

Name”. Margaret Whiting ‘covered’ the song, and Maggie Warwick had her first cut by another artist. Don Gant and Roy

Acuff, Jr. published many of Maggie’s songs through Acuff-Rose. But, it was while she was with Shelby Singleton that most of her songs were recorded by such stars as Jeannie C. Riley, Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner, Johnny Adams, Narvel CREDITS Felts, Freddy Fender, John Wesley Ryles, Nat Stuckey, Connie Smith, Lynn Anderson, and Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn.

“Oh, Singer”. ..Jeannie C. Riley Maggie is presently living in Shreveport, where she is a producer, publisher and owner of Gumbo Records.
