After an 18 year spell, Jimmy Witherspoon (RIP) and Robben Ford got together to play a live gig. All the tracks were recorded on August 24th, 1991 at the Notodden Blues Festival, Norway except Tracks 1 and 6 which were recorded on August 25th, 1991 at the same venue. Jimmy, despite his serious illness and fading vocals expertly guided the band with one hand and held the crowd with another. The incredible Robben Ford supported Jimmy with absolute spot on timing, and his brilliant blues licks are a joy to hear. A magical performance by two blues giants. Bassist Stan Poplin, Patrick Ford on drums and Espen Fjelle on organ made these two guys sound even better. Listen to Stan Poplin playing bass on Robben Ford’s great “Sunrise” album. Check out the sensational “Jimmy Witherspoon at the Monterey Jazz Festival” album and listen to real music. Check out Jimmy Witherspoon’s bio @ http://www.allmusic.com/artist/witherspoon-mn0000100854 There is plenty of info about Robben Ford to be found on this blog [All tracks @ 320 Kbps: File size = 124 Mb]

Hi,Alfred. This site has been very slow to load in the last week or so. Give it a few minutes and it will load eventually. Scroll to bottom of scree. Under "Download 3197.rar" wait for countdown and click link. It works ok using Windows 7 Chrome and IE 10. Also the site is in German. You can translate the site to English. Thanks...Paul
Many thanks for assistance Paul.
It's working fine now. The problem wasn't the speed but the error "File not found". Best wishes, Alfred.
Hi,Alfred. That's good news. I'm glad the problem is solved. Thanks & keep in touch...Paul
