Customer Reviews of Bad Man
By far my favorite T-model ford album When T-model ford get's going he's unstoppable His raw riff oriented Guitar and amazingly raw voice go together perfictly. On most T-Model ford albums there are couple songs that arn't really that good and make the album alittle less enjoyable. But there is none of that on this record. Like T-Model himself say on this Record, "That's some good soundin' music there"
I'm still a Chicken-Head Man.
T-Model Ford has been through the mill more than once, and at 80 is still working hard to get the dying message of the Mississippi Hill Country Blues out to those who will listen. With drummer Spam, James "T-Model" Ford plays an endless boogie reflecting the hardships of being shot, stabbed, poisoned, and working on a chain gang. "Bad Man" is a driving reflection of a man who won't quit, and his interpretation of the chaos around him. Featured with R.L. Burnside in the February 2002 Issue of the New Yorker, T-Model & Spam are currently touring on the Fat Possum Mississippi Juke Joint Caravan. With more stamina than most young artists today, his style is reflective of artists like Lightnin' Hopkins, Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters; but is stripped-down and brutally honest. All the tracks are originals, produced live by Memphis legend Jim Dickinson. It's T-Model, his guitar, Spam and nothing else. T-Model doesn't complain here, it's just his way of saying that he learned the hard way. This album does not reflect a relic of the past, nor does it want sympathy; it's an interpretation of a bluesman that celebrates the will to keep going despite adversity of any kind.
Back to basics
T-Model Ford was nearing his 60th birthday before he picked up the guitar, and he was 78 when this album was recorded, but you wouldn't know it when you listen to "Bad Man", his fourth album.
It is split about evenly between originals and cover songs (most notably a superbly eerie reading of "I Asked For Water (she gave me gasoline)", originally recorded by Tommy Johnson).
The arrangements are sparse to say the least, just Ford and his drummer, and, sure, I have heard albums with more stylistic and thematic variation, but it is just so great that someone still plays the blues this way, all raw and gritty, and Ford even throws in a semi-spiritual ("Let The Church Roll On") á la Blind Willie Johnson.
James "T-Model" Ford was born less than a decade after the late, great Muddy Waters, and even though he recorded his first album as late as 1997, he plays the blues as though you have somehow stumbled into an early 50s juke joint. It's good to know that someone still does.
