T-model Ford And Gravelroad
Taledragger
Recorded during a 14 show US tour in 2010, the groove on this new studio album is pure T-Model Ford. Backed by his regular touring band GravelRoad, and with stellar guest appearances by Brian Olive and Matthew Smith, "Taledragger" is a perfect party album with the feel and honesty of a night at the juke joint. T-Model Ford plays with an intensity and consistency that belies his age, despite a mild stroke in April 2010. Now 90 years old, the self proclaimed "Boss of the Blues" continues to show his strengths. Playing the blues is his life, he knows no other way. The well-documented Bad Man can be noted to, at times, simply have it bad, man. This is no music for the precious and wanky-fedora-headed-claptonite- bloozers who whine about sht being out of tune and wring their hands over a guitar being japanese-made. This is primal jankety-ass rattlin and buzzin raw music.
