How To Build Max-Performance 4.6-Liter Ford Engines (Cartech)

Reviewed by PJG on 2009-06-17  •  Reviews (9)  •  Read Full Review

This was an OK book. I wish the performance section on the 10 various builds covered a 2 valve motor, with just a mild performance package, instead of all the ones for 4 valve motors, or 1000hp plus...
I just want a nice street motor, putting out some decent power (300-325hp) without too many mods. But this book did give you some decent stock rebuilding info.

Editorial Review ::
When the 96 Mustang came out with the 4.6-liter V-8, some performance enthusiasts were scared away by its technology. But those days are long gone. Ford added horsepower and torque to its 2- and 4-valve V-8s over the years, and the number and quality of available aftermarket performance parts has exploded.

Ford took things to the next level with the new 3-valve Mustang GT engine, the 5.4-liter GT and the Shelby GT500, adding even more high-performance options.

Robben Ford - The Art of Blues Rhythm DVD

Reviewed by BLUE NORM on 2009-08-29  •  Reviews (7)  •  Read Full Review

To be honest I had not heard of Robben Ford before buying the dvd. His style is unique. In this dvd he gives an insight on how he creates. Ford demonstrates his playing technique. The price for the dvd is much cheaper than a private lesson. So what can be gained from it depends on your own guitar experince level. I consider myself an intermediate guitarist most of the dvd I grasped, but some of it was beyond me. This dvd I wouldn't recommend to a beginner. Others should consider the dvd for the experience of new knowledge from a noted blues artist, Robben Ford.

Editorial Review :: As one of the most emulated blues players of our time, Robben Ford's impeccable soloing techniques, phrasing and tone have been the subject of several books and videos, but for the first time, Robben brings his smooth and tasty rhythm playing to the forefront in this DVD. He explains and demonstrates dozens of blues rhythm concepts and techniques from 12-bar shuffle blues rhythms to mixing in jazz chords to blues comping. Robben also takes you through several of his tunes showing his chord voicings, rhythms, and right-hand picking/finger techniques. Robben also answers questions about double-stops, his guitars, recording, and road gear. Also includes a 39-page printable PDF with examples and transcriptions. Robben has been offering master class clinics for several years to a very select and limited number of students. This DVD allows guitarists everywhere to be a part of this unique experience.

Jack Daniel Time

Reviewed by Jeffrey Konkel on 2008-07-14  •  Reviews (1)  •  Read Full Review

Full disclosure: I was fortunate enough to be a fly-on-the-wall during the recording sessions for this record, so I might be a little biased. But let's face it, it's hard NOT to get excited about a new T-Model Ford record. The man is an irrepressible, incorrigible force of nature.

As on his previous offerings for Fat Possum, T-Model serves up a healthy dose of raucous, juke-ready blues on Jack Daniel Time. But this record - the inaugural disc for Kari Jones' Mudpuppy Recordings imprint - offers a couple of new twists in the T-Model canon. For starters, it's great to finally hear him on record with harmonica accompaniment. Terry "Harmonica" Bean of Pontotoc, Mississippi blows a mighty harp on several tracks here. Terry and T-Model have known each other for ages and played together for several years prior to T-Model's rise to blues fame in the late '90s. The other great surprise on this disc are the handful of wonderful solo acoustic tracks. The Taildragger of Greenville, Mississippi (as he likes to call himself) has never sounded more intimate or vulnerable. But don't tell T-Model I said that. He's liable to cut me for it.
