Music Menu: T-Model Ford
July 5th, 2009 by Timothy C. Davis in Music MenuT-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
