I picked up the Ryan Bingham CD “Mescalito” after reading a review of it in Acoustic Guitar Magazine. It mentioned that Marc Ford was the producer on the record so I bought it purely on his merits. Its a great CD and Ryam Bingham has become one of my favorite songwriters.
In this show he is playing with Stephane Beaussart who plays dobro, banjo and slide guitar. Who I have never heard of but he does a good job on this. This is a perfect soundboard recording.
You can stream the tune “Hard Time” from the show here. The tune “Sunrise” with a cool dobro intro in available here.

thanks for sharing. great stuff!
No worries – I will get another Ryan Bingham show up soon.
this is wonderful stuff.
and great sound with a bit of an interesting metallic howl/echo from beaussart’s dobro playing.
NICE player.
and bingham’s singing reminds me a bit of jimmy lafave who i also like quite a bit.
interesting that there’s also a marc ford connection to bingham, since i’ve just recently found few bits of his, starting with his blue floyd project.
a very talented guy, now that he seems to have licked various ‘problems’ he had while with the b crowes. good for him!
thanks!
His voice is gritty like Jimmy LaFarve is also a great song writer. Jimmy has some great versions of Dylan tunes.
Marc Ford has a purity to his guitar tone that is perfect! I like the stuff he did with the Crowes and also Ben Harper. The Ben Harper Live at the Greek DVD has Marc on it which is awsome.
Did you see these interviews Marc did in Telluirde:
