Robben Ford discussed his album "Two Shades Of Blues," created as a tribute to Jeff Beck and amp builder Alexander Dumble. The album features Ford exploring his Strat guitar and his Overdrive Special amplifier. He also mentioned that this project was a way for him to approach the guitar differently, as Jeff Beck was not an initial influence. Originally reported by MusicRadar.
