John Ford's 50+ year career has traversed psychedelia with Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera, progressive folk with The Strawbs, eclectic rock with Hudson-Ford, punky new wave with The Monks, and even '30s-style music hall with High Society. An Englishman in New York since the mid-'80s, Ford launched a solo career spotlighting his melodic gifts and multi-instrumental prowess in power pop and acoustic-based rock settings. For his latest album, the eternally youthful John Ford presents Between a Rock and a Hard Place, a lyrically reflective and musically energetic set that seamlessly integrates covers of Tom Petty's ""Walls"" and George Harrison's ""The Rising Sun"" with John's self-penned songs. The CD format includes an exclusive bonus disc of 20 career highlights.
