In this episode of the LIMEHOF Podcast, we welcome legendary British singer, songwriter, bassist, and guitarist John Ford. From helping shape the sound of the Strawbs to enjoying chart success with Hudson-Ford, The Monks, and a celebrated solo career, Ford reflects on more than five decades in music while discussing his outstanding new album, Between a Rock and a Hard Place.
John Ford’s remarkable career has taken him from the psychedelic sounds of Elmer Gantry’s Velvet Opera to the progressive rock success of the Strawbs, where he co-wrote the classic hit “Part of the Union,” earning an Ivor Novello Award and multiple gold and platinum records. He later found success with Hudson-Ford and The Monks before launching an enduring solo career that continues today with Between a Rock and a Hard Place, a vibrant collection of new songs and thoughtfully chosen covers that showcases his timeless songwriting and musicianship.
