James "T-Model" Ford cannot read these notes. He has been shot, stabbed, and poisoned. His ankles wear the ragged scars of chain gang shackles. He learned the hard way.
"Recorded in 2010 during a 14 show US tour, 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. Despite a mild stroke in April 2010, T-Model still plays with an intensity and consistency that belies his age. 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."
"Ford revisits riffs and motifs well-known in both Delta and Chicago blues. But he has an advantage over '30s performers, who were limited by the three-minute running time of 78-rpm records. The guitarist slips, lurches and churns until the groove becomes hypnotic. When he bends a song like taffy, he twists it into a shape that is his alone." – Mark Jenkins / WASHINGTON POST
"This is no music for the precious and wanky-fedora-headed-claptonite-bloozers who whine about shit being out of tune and wring their hands over a guitar being japanese-made. This is primal jankety-ass rattlin’ and buzzin’ raw music." - DEEP BLUES BLOG
