5.0 out of 5 stars If you like B.B. King, don't buy this disc., May 23, 1999

This review is from: Pee Wee Get My Gun (Audio CD)

If you are sick and tired of over-produced music that is put out for profit instead of musical content, T-Model may be the artist for you. Throwing caution to the wind, he rips through some amazing tunes with the wisdom only a 76 year old could posses. The drum and guitar setup give T-Model and Spam plenty of room to showcase their old school blues style: raw, vulgar, and violent. Just what blues is meant to be!

5.0 out of 5 stars It ain't pretty but someone has to do it., December 6, 1998

If you like your blues clean, slick and well rehearsed, then stay away. This is fun, raw stuff that feels like they just got together over a couple of beers and decided to rock. You believe T-Model when he tells you in "I'm Insane" that "I'm gonna put my foot in your a@#", knowing that he spent time on a chain gang for murder. Kudos to Fat Possum Records for signing T-Model to his first record at age 76.

I don't know what to say, but as far as Juke-Joint blues goes, this album is perfect, I mean flawless. I first saw T-Model Ford perform live when he came to my college campus. His unorthodox playing style, haunting voice, and lyrics which represent his twisted personality, are all things that make up a great bluesman, a real bluesman. All of these things are expressed to the 10th degree in this album.

This is his first album, which he didn't record until he was 75 years old, and in my opinion it is his best. "Cut You Loose" is in my opinion the best track on the album. If your looking for unrefined blues, the kind that makes you want to down a bottle of whiskey and howl at the moon, then this is for you.

Also check out his other fantastic albums, "You Better Keep Still," "She Ain't None of Your'n," and "Bad Man." If you enjoy this type of raw music also check out Junior Kimbrough (R.I.P) and R.L. Burnside.
