Music Menu / News Music Menu: T-Model Ford

Posted By on Sun, Jul 5, 2009 at 10:29 AM

T-Model Ford As you might expect from a T-Model, this one's kind of aged (somewhere between 75 and 80) and takes a while to start, but once all the pistons start firing, you're in for a rollicking (if rickety) ride you'll not soon forget. The Mississippi Native and Fat Possum Records "find" (like he'd not been seen before?) has all the backstory that "blooze" biographers look for (worked on a mule farm, drank a shit-ton, spent time in jail on a murder rap), but the real draw here is his unorthodox-yet-fraught-with-power picking, which is at least on par with Junior Kimbrough, if not as searingly, screamingly honest (or ominous, perhaps). Highly recommended. With Andy the Doorbum, Gravelroad. Snug Harbor
