T-Model Ford

Vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist T-Model Ford (Wayne Lewis Carter Ford) played a raw-edged, visceral design of blues from your Mississippi Delta, accompanied most of the time by his drummer, Spam (Tommy Lee Kilometers). Ford captured a rest when he exposed on a nationwide tour for Friend Man and his music group, playing reputable theaters plus some celebrations, but he was chronically under-recorded. He started playing guitar past due in existence and hadn’t actually toured much beyond your Mississippi Delta before 1990s and in to the fresh millennium. He was well received at Antone’s nightclub in Austin through the South by Southwest Music Event, in the Chicago Blues Event, and on tour with Man and his music group. When not on the highway, playing mainly blues nightclubs, T-Model Ford and Spam arranged their devices and amps through to Nelson Road in Greenville, Mississippi, where they might play for just as much as eight hours right. Ford’s sound was natural, unadulterated Delta blues, as well as the music on his albums will sound sparse but is quite rhythmic, considering that his single accompanist was the drummer Spam. His albums, all for system.drawing.bitmap Possum label, right now based in LA, include Pee-Wee Get My Weapon (1997), You Better Preserve Still (1999), She Ain’t non-e of Your’n (2000), and Poor Man (2002). Following a six-year break from documenting — though he toured frequently — Ford came back towards the bins around the Alive imprint with Women Man this year 2010; he adopted it with Taledragger in 2011. 2 yrs later, he passed away in the home of respiratory system failure following a small amount of time in hospice treatment.
