The album was released on September 15, 2008 (UK) and September 23, 2008 (US) on the Blues Bureau International label. Marc Ford has gathered into The Neptune Blues Club experienced blues musicians of Southern California, who's played earlier in The Blasters, Hazmat Modine, Tom Waits' band, with Big Joe Turner, Mick Taylor, Joe Houston, Hubert Sumlin, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Gatemouth Brown, David Lynch, Bruce Willis, Top Jimmy, Lester Butler, Lee Allen, Nels Cline, Greg Ginn among others. Marc Ford (born April 13, 1966) is an American blues-rock guitarist, songwriter and record producer. He is a former guitarist of the rock and roll band The Black Crowes, the former lead guitarist of The Magpie Salute and the leader of his own bands: Burning Tree, Marc Ford & The Neptune Blues Club, Marc Ford & The Sinners, Fuzz Machine, and Jefferson Steelflex. Ford ranks as a world class musician.--- He was awarded a Grammy and an NAACP Image Award-an honor bestowed on few Caucasians, for his work with Ben Harper and The Blind Boys of Alabama on There Will Be a Light (2004). Marc' Career Highlights: 1983-1984: Cathedral of Tears 1988: The Scarecrows 1987-1991: Burning Tree 1992-1997: The Black Crowes 1998-2003: Solo and collaborations -After his departure from the Black Crowes, Ford formed Marc Ford and the Uninvited. In addition to Ford, the band featured drummer Mike Stinson, guitarist Eric Solton, keyboardist Ed Lyon, and bassist Brian Lerman. In 1998, he sat in numerous times with Gov't Mule before joining the Chris Stills Band for a summer tour. Upon the conclusion of that tour, Ford quit the Chris Stills Band. 1999: Federale 2000-2001: Blue Floyd 2002: Chris Robinson In January 2002, Malibu, California, Ford performed a set with Chris Robinson, the first time Ford and Robinson had performed with one another since Ford's dismissal from the Black Crowes nearly five years prior. Robinson again joined Ford at the Malibu Inn two weeks later, confirming that they had made amends. Ford co-wrote "Sunday Sound," a track featured on Robinson's solo debut, New Earth Mud. 2002-2003: Marc Ford & The Sinners It's About Time (2002) Ford's debut album, entitled It's About Time, was released on Anko Records in the fall of 2002. During his band's 2002 tour, Ford often took time out (with and without The Sinners) to record tracks for his debut album. In 2003, Marc Ford and The Sinners had an opening slot on Lucinda Williams' ongoing tour. 2003-2006: Ben Harper In late 2003, Ford accepted an invitation to join Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, relegating The Sinners to an indefinite hiatus. Ford toured with Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals for the majority of 2003, from which their live EP Live at the Hollywood Bowl was drawn.--- 2005-2006: Black Crowes reunion 2006-2016: Solo again Marc Ford at Parkpop 2007, Netherlands June 24, 2007 Shortly after his sudden departure from the Black Crowes, Marc Ford unexpectedly reunited with his original Burning Tree bandmates. The trio performed three gigs at the King King in Hollywood, California.---Following these impromptu dates, Ford decided to recruit his old bandmates Doni Gray and Mark "Muddy" Dutton, along with his son Elijah Ford, to be the line-up for his new recording band as Ford had already begun preproduction on his new studio album. Weary and Wired (2007) Ford's second solo album Weary and Wired was released on March 13, 2007, on Shrapnel Records' subdivision Blues Bureau International. Coinciding with the album release, was Ford's feature interview on the cover of jam-band oriented music magazine Hittin' the Note -- 2007, 2010: Marc Ford & the Fuzz Machine 2008-2015: Producer and collaborations --- In May 2009, it was revealed that Ford would be joining the touring band for blues artist Booker T. Jones (of Booker T. & the MG's fame). Ford was confirmed as the guitarist for June through September 2009. >>>In the fall of 2009, Ford launched a download site to showcase and facilitate the sale of his archive of soundboard recordings from his solo work. The shows released thus far focus entirely on the Neptune Blues Club. It is unclear if the site will cover other eras of Ford's solo career. Holy Ghost (2014) After producing Phantom Limb's The Pines album, Ford asked the band to return the favor by backing his own solo project. Ford signed with the Naim record label in the UK and released his fifth solo album, Holy Ghost on April 14, 2014. He announced the new album in Country Music magazine. Ford released a video coinciding with the release on the story behind the new album. In 2015, Ford played on his friend, singer songwriter Craig Helmreich's album Blood On the Table, (under the artist name of It's Just Craig's) which was recorded with producer John Vanderslice at Tiny Telephone Studios in San Francisco. 2008-2009, 2016-2017: Marc Ford & the Neptune Blues Club Marc Ford and the Neptune Blues Club (2008) The Vulture (2016) 2016-2019: The Magpie Salute ---In October 2016, it was announced that Marc Ford had joined the newly formed The Magpie Salute, led by his former Black Crowes bandmate Rich Robinson. Months prior to forming the band, Rich Robinson had invited Ford to play on the Woodstock Sessions (Vol.3) after getting reacquainted with Ford through Rich's guitarist at the time, and gave Ford back his guitars from his Crowes' days. The Woodstock Sessions, a three-day event of shows held in Woodstock, New York from August 19-21, 2016. It was during these sessions, that Ford was reunited with other members from the Black Crowes, bassist Sven Pipien and the late keyboardist Eddie Harsch, who passed a few months later in November 2016, just shy of the Magpie's formation. The Magpie Salute was fronted by guitarist Rich Robinson, accompanied by Marc Ford and bassist Sven Pipien, with John Hogg as lead vocalist. The band as well had keyboardist Matt Slocum, drummer Joe Magistro, and backing vocalists Adrien Reju and Katrine Ottosen from Robinson's solo band. 2019-present: Solo and next chapter Live in Germany (2021) Marc Ford's Live In Germany was self-released, on January 15, 2021.The solo live album consists of a recording made from the May 16th 2017 show at the Music Star in Norderstedt, Germany.] At the time, Ford was unaware that his live set was being recorded by the now discontinued venue. On receiving the tape, the 2017 show's recording became an unexpected album. Personally mixed by Ford himself, it was completed and released during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Neil Songs (2023) Marc Ford and Phil Jones (former drummer for Tom Petty) self-released a cover EP entitled Neil Songs, on January 16, 2023. Recorded at Jones’ Robust Recordings, the album contains songs written by Neil Young.

An unreleased "The Magpie Salute" song, "Lost Boy", was played for the first time (as the encore). "Lost Boy" was released in October 2019, on The Magpie Salute's High Water II LP/CD. November 2, 2019: The Marc Ford Band (Marc Ford/Elijah Ford/Phil Jones) performed at the second annual benefit concert for Patch Outreach and the Ayer Masonic Association at a private venue in Georgetown, Massachusetts.

❤❤❤ Marc Ford & his top-notch crew! So lucky to have caught them up in Bay Area a couple times now - a seriously hardworking outfit, and one of THE most-rocking Americana Bands this side of Mars. There’s ONLY one local live band that I’ve seen that could hold a candle to you guys - EMT (Eric, Paulo & James). Please never stop!
