And we move on to T-Model Ford. If everything you read is to be believed, the man who was born James Lewis Carter Ford is one hard motherfucker. Let the man tell it himself (from his myspace page):During the time he spent driving and working in a log camp, T-Model ran into trouble, and was eventually sentenced to ten years on a chain-gang for murder. He lucked out and was released after serving two. He says, grinning, "I could really stomp some ass back then, stomp it good. I was a-sure-enough dangerous man." When asked how many times he'd been to jail, T-Model responded, "I don't know. How many?" He seemed to think it might be a trick question. Upon realizing it wasn't, he answered to the best of his ability. "Every Saturday night there for awhile."
Even more so than some of his peers, T-Model Ford's songs are very simple, and typically dont venture beyond a three chord pattern. However, he throws so much vigor
into his songs, that the energy and grit really shines through. Here are some tunes from T-Model and his right hand man, his drumer Spam. It should also be noted that the first song down below served as the theme song for one of the radio shows I did at WSPN about 4 or 5 years ago (One Foot In The Grave - for those keeping track at home).She Asked Me So I Told Her
