In 1996, Tom Brechtlein[1] recommended Earl as a replacement for Roscoe Beck in Robben Ford's band, The Blue Line, which was about to go on a bus tour of Europe. On returning, Ford started a new band, which began with a series of West Coast performances. These included appearances at Catalina Bar and Grill in Hollywood,[2] and at Yoshi's in Oakland, CA.[3] where Vinnie Colaiuta was featured on drums. Soon, Ford's album Supernatural was recorded and released in 1999.[4] In 2001, Ford's group recorded New Morning: The Paris Concert. This DVD captured a live performance at the New Morning club in Paris.[5] It was followed, in 2002, by Ford's first album with Concord Jazz, Blue Moon,[6] on which Earl is credited with producing "Good to Love".[7] Later, Earl recorded on two more Ford albums: Keep on Running (2003),[8][9] and Truth (2007),[10] which was nominated for the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.[11] Moreover, in August 2007, Truth became the number one blues album on Billboard's charts.
