T-Model Ford

About T-Model Ford

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist T-Model Ford played a raw-edged, visceral style of blues from the Mississippi Delta, accompanied much of the time by his drummer, Spam. Ford caught a break when he opened up on a national tour for Buddy Guy and his band, but he was chronically under-recorded. He began playing guitar late in life and hadn't really toured much outside the Mississippi Delta until the '90s and into the new millennium. He was well received at Antone's nightclub in Austin during the South by Southwest Music Festival, at the Chicago Blues Festival, and on tour with Guy and his band. In 2013, Ford died of respiratory failure at home in Greenville, Mississippi after a short time in hospice care. ~ Richard Skelly
