Robben Ford & The Blue Line
The Authorized Bootleg
The Story
From Robben Ford's liner notes for the Blue Line's "The Authorized Bootleg" CD, "Many of our fans have asked us (over the last few years) for a live recording, and we too have looked for an opportunity to do one. Unfortunately, several unauthorized recordings have indeed been issued by several of the more unsavory types who haunt the record business, much to our dismay. So we are pleased to finally give you what we fondly call "The Authorized Bootleg" - something that we are actually proud of. It is taken from a live recording done at the club Yoshi's in Oakland, CA, and sponsored by our friends at the radio station KFOG in San Francisco. This is a very rare acoustic 'unplugged' performance by the Blue Line and we hope it does the trick for you. We like it a lot!"
