She was a founding member of The Be Good Tanyas. Her solo debut Obadiah was released on Nettwerk on July 20, 2010.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFord cites Rhythm and Blues singers Ann Peebles, Roberta Flack, and Donny Hathaway as influences, and this is evident in Obadiah. Jenny Charlesworth of The Georgia Straight wrote that a few of the songs \"swing with a mellow neo-soul beat enlivened by buttery vocals\". Ford also credits her free spirited parents (her father was an American draft dodger who moved to Canada), and being a mother as strong influences on her songwriting.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eObadiah takes its name from Ford's middle name \"Obadiah\". When she was born, her parents asked her brothers to choose her middle name; they decided to name her after their pet cat Obadiah that had recently run away.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFord was raised in the Kootenays in Southeastern British Columbia, and Toronto. She currently resides in Vancouver.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Frazey+Ford","playStationPath":"/stations/261062945/play","stationId":261062945,"bioPath":"/music/Frazey+Ford/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Margaret+Glaspy","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/608/6086a0f389f7c96f556949eea3c66d91_md.jpg","artistName":"Margaret Glaspy","artistId":434587,"station_id":400709825},{"musicPath":"/music/Micah+P+Hinson","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/dc3/dc3d45102c26fafc44bc7e5bfa0e1cdd_md.jpg","artistName":"Micah P.
