In the mid-'90s, German-born guitarist Volker Strifler got his dream gig of playing with acclaimed blues guitarist Robben Ford in the Ford Blues Band. Ford was not only a fan of Strifler's guitar work, but appreciated his songwriting talents, and helped him release his first solo album in 2002 (not including the one Strifler self-released in 1996). Over the past decade, Stifler released a handful of albums that show respect for blues tradition, and an interest in totally changing it. His latest album, Let the Music Rise, jumps all over the spectrum, incorporating roots, rock, jazz, Latin music, R&B, Caribbean, country, but always with a heavy dose of the blues. (Aaron Carnes)
