Ivy Ford - Harvesting My Roots (2019)

This album pays homage to the several facets of blues and roots music. Though it's original content it exudes a styles like Texas blues, Delta, Chicago style and brings it full circle to a modern take on what blues and roots means.

Ivy Ford has always been known as an old-soul and has been referred to as an indigo artist. She's able to grab, entertain and please her audience and listeners in whatever she performs so when she started releasing her own music it added that extra personal stamp on what she does. With 'Harvesting My Roots,' Ford's stories and songs are weaved from her real life trials, tribulations, achievements, fears and courage. She's always been proud of her work but this specific album is the first to truly hold a deep place in her heart, soul and being. Like her song "Similar Street," conveys, we as people are a lot closer and similar than we might always think so don't be afraid to be kind. And to ones self, don't be afraid to live your best life because "you only got one life to live," you owe it to yourself. 'Harvesting My Roots' is both a tribute to her personal upbringing, life lessons and experiences and hopefully an invitation to her own generation and even younger to love the blues.
