Hands down, one of the most electrifying musical performances I have ever witnessed in my life. T-Model Ford is living proof, at 89 or 90 years old, that the blues are still alive. Damn, what a good show. Joined by the bearded Bill Able and T-Model's own 11 year-old grandson, STUD, on drums, the man put out just the right mix of paleo Delta blues infused with a raw, heavy, more aggressive Chicago-laced sound. If my hearing ever goes bad in my right ear, it's because I heard T-Model Ford from the front row, sprawled out on the grass.
