  • T-Model Ford, Bad Man, 2002 Fat Possum Records, $17. The title kind of says it all. Doesn't it? T-Model is baaaad. Sure, he killed a man once in self-defence. Sure, he still l carries a knife. But he puts out an awefully good, Delta groove album. Self-taught and proud of it, T-Model's music is as original as it comes. Bent notes, distorted chords and lyrics about... well, being bad. That's what this 79-year-old has to offer. He starts the CD by announcing that he's from Greenville, Mississippi. True. But I prefer the geographical description he once gave me: "I'm from the United States of Mississippi!" (CD produced by Jim Dickinson.) 10 tracks:
  • Ask Her For Water
  • Everything's Gonna Be Alright
  • Yes, I'm Standing
  • Bad Man
  • Somebody's Knockin'
  • Let The Church Roll On
  • Black Nanny
