The follow up to 2010's critically acclaimed Obadiah, Indian Ocean is a lush album filled with songs about pain and dealing with tough truths, but also about love, contrition and being bold. Part of what gives this album its gilded edge is the work of Al Green's band, The Hi Rhythm Section (Teenie, LeRoy and Charles Hodges), the iconic architects of the famous singer's instrumental sound. Ford is the beneficiary of their almighty talents, the trio accentuating her sensual and opulent vocals with deep-bottomed bass, subtle backbeats, and airy flights of organ.

They're joined by the golden horn arrangements and the undulating tides of Debra Jean Creelman and Caroline Ballhorn's backing vocals that kick off the restless but hopeful album opener, "September Fields." John Raham, Frazey's creative partner and co-producer, brings his considerable talents helping to create the album's delicate musical balance. Indian Ocean was recorded, mixed and mastered between Memphis's historic Royal Studios and Vancouver's Afterlife Studios.
