Delta Model

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist T-Model Ford (James Lewis Carter Ford) played a raw-edged, visceral style of blues from the Mississippi Delta, accompanied much of the time by his drummer, Spam (Tommy Lee Miles). Ford caught a break when he opened up on a national tour for Buddy Guy and his band, playing respectable theaters and some festivals, 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 1990s and into the new millennium. Collection includes: Bad Man (2002); The Ladies Man (2010); Taledragger (2011).

Robert Lockwood Jr. is a blues treasure. Blues credibility doesn’t get any deeper or more real than Robert Lockwood Jr. On Delta Crossroads, the 85-year-old Delta bluesman lays out a heartfelt homage to the immortal Robert Johnson, his guitar teacher, close friend, role model and possibly step-father.

Blues credibility doesn’t get any deeper or more real than Robert Lockwood Jr. On Delta Crossroads, the 85-year-old Delta bluesman lays out a heartfelt homage to the immortal Robert Johnson, his guitar teacher, close friend, role model and possibly step-father. Playing the acoustic 12-string guitar and singing with uncommon authority, Lockwood delivers unaccompanied, bone-chilling renditions of Johnson classics like “32-20 Blues”, “Stop Breakin’ Down Blues” “Mr. Downchild”, “Love In Vain Blues” and “I Believe I’ll Dust My Broom”, along with authentically earthy readings of Leroy Carr’s “Mean Mistreater Mama” and “In the Evening”, Lightnin’ Hopkins’ “C.C. Rider” and “Key to the Highway”, which Lockwood says was written by Jazz Gillum and not Big Bill Broonzy, who usually gets credit. This purely acoustic offering is a rich tribute and a must for Delta fanatics.
