T-Model Ford - Pee-Wee Get My Gun

I'm always going to be a sucker for this kind of set up. One seventy-five year old Mississippi resident who's spent large portions of his life in jail plays guitar and sings whilst a man who's perfectly happy to let his wife drag around an oxygen canister in one hand and hold a cigarette in the other plays a snare and bass drum. It's the simple stripped to the bones blues and T-Model himself is an unintentional mockery of the blues clique. Picture a blues player, I'll bet anything you just got the mental image of a man sitting on a stool with his acoustic guitar and gently strumming out his troubles. T-Model himself however is aggressive and with the exception of his one band mate, no one can stand to work with him. This record comes from Fat Possum's desire to dig through every shit hole in America and bring to the record buying public real slabs of gritty, soulful, honest, blues from people who really have lived the hard life. Nothing that the majority of people reading or writing for this page can really relate to but sure as hell can appreciate and enjoy.
