█ █▓ █▓ █
█ █▓ █▓ █
█ █▓ █▓ █
█ █▓ HereÆs an old-time bluesman who █▓ █
█ █▓ knows where itÆs atû who knows, █▓ █
█ █▓ that is, that, with the blues, the █▓ █
█ █▓ story youÆre telling isnÆt nearly █▓ █
█ █▓ as important as how youÆre telling █▓ █
█ █▓ it. T-Model FordÆs entire life has █▓ █
█ █▓ the air of a great tall tale. He █▓ █
█ █▓ says heÆs around 91 years oldû he █▓ █
█ █▓ canÆt remember the precise details █▓ █
█ █▓ of his birth; who can, I suppose?û █▓ █
█ █▓ and that he never picked up a █▓ █
█ █▓ guitar in his life until he was █▓ █
█ █▓ well past fifty. Even his record █▓ █
█ █▓ label casts some doubt on these █▓ █
█ █▓ claims. ThereÆs also a story going █▓ █
█ █▓ around that he did ten years in a █▓ █
█ █▓ chain gang for murder, something █▓ █
█ █▓ that has perhaps a tiny bit more █▓ █
█ █▓ footing in reality, though his █▓ █
█ █▓ claim that he cut his sentence down █▓ █
█ █▓ to a mere two years is a little █▓ █
█ █▓ iffy. He has his own catchphrase, a █▓ █
█ █▓ badass promise he makes to every █▓ █
█ █▓ young session musician to walk █▓ █
█ █▓ through his studio: ôT-Model Ford █▓ █
█ █▓ is going to remember you sorry █▓ █
█ █▓ fuckers how itÆs done.ö This last █▓ █
█ █▓ part, IÆm pretty sure, is entirely █▓ █
█ █▓ true. █▓ █
█ █▓ █▓ █
█ █▓ The new album is called █▓ █
█ █▓ Taledragger, which is actually a █▓ █
█ █▓ pretty descriptive play on █▓ █
█ █▓ T-ModelÆs nickname, Taildragger; █▓ █
█ █▓ heÆs playing with stories here, █▓ █
█ █▓ taking bits and pieces of old blues █▓ █
█ █▓ tales and moving them into the █▓ █
█ █▓ arrangements that best fit his █▓ █
█ █▓ whims. He recorded the set with a █▓ █
█ █▓ young blues troupe called █▓ █
█ █▓ GravelRoadû a unit who, like The █▓ █
█ █▓ Black Keys, know their blues inside █▓ █
█ █▓ and out but filter them through █▓ █
█ █▓ decades of indie rock, meaning that █▓ █
█ █▓ theyÆre smart enough to know they █▓ █
█ █▓ donÆt have to play up the █▓ █
█ █▓ historicity of this music for it to █▓ █
█ █▓ be authentic. Simply put, the █▓ █
█ █▓ record is a righteous, hot blues █▓ █
█ █▓ album, a big-time groove record █▓ █
█ █▓ that spits and kicks with awesome █▓ █
█ █▓ fury and ample atitude. █▓ █
█ █▓ █▓ █
█ █▓ T-ModelÆs loose relationship with █▓ █
█ █▓ the hard-and-fast rules of █▓ █
█ █▓ truth-telling and linear time is as █▓ █
█ █▓ wiley with regard to his music as █▓ █
█ █▓ it is with his bio; on this set he █▓ █
█ █▓ dips into Mississippi juke-joint █▓ █
█ █▓ blues, electrifying Chicago-style █▓ █
█ █▓ stuff, and deep wells of █▓ █
█ █▓ psychedelia that might seem a █▓ █
█ █▓ little campy if everything here █▓ █
█ █▓ wasnÆt sold so vigorously. █▓ █
█ █▓ GravelRoad turns out to be a █▓ █
█ █▓ perfect fit for his styleû not only █▓ █
█ █▓ do they keep up with olÆ T-Model, █▓ █
█ █▓ but they share his distaste for █▓ █
█ █▓ genre distinctions, his stubborn █▓ █
█ █▓ refusal to play the blues like heÆs █▓ █
█ █▓ supposed to. Thing is, itÆs that █▓ █
█ █▓ contempt for classicism or formal █▓ █
█ █▓ purity that makes this music howl; █▓ █
█ █▓ its primitiveness, its utter lack █▓ █
█ █▓ of manners, is what makes █▓ █
█ █▓ Taledragger feel like itÆs █▓ █
█ █▓ perversely true to the spirit of █▓ █
█ █▓ the blues. █▓ █
█ █▓ █▓ █
█ █▓ Certainly, the ringleader and his █▓ █
█ █▓ posse are in terrifically █▓ █
█ █▓ cantankerous form throughout; they █▓ █
█ █▓ open the set with what sounds like █▓ █
█ █▓ ôMystery Trainö done in a drunken, █▓ █
█ █▓ half-remembered haze, the lyrics █▓ █
█ █▓ more an approximation of the █▓ █
█ █▓ original than a straight rendition █▓ █
█ █▓ and the whole tune boozily █▓ █
█ █▓ stumbling along with an off-beat █▓ █
█ █▓ piano setting the pace. T-Model █▓ █
█ █▓ calls the song ôSame Old Train,ö █▓ █
█ █▓ but clearly heÆs found a way to █▓ █
█ █▓ make it run like new. The song also █▓ █
█ █▓ introduces the ôbig-legged womanö █▓ █
█ █▓ character who darts in and out of █▓ █
█ █▓ these songs, a strange and █▓ █
█ █▓ mysterious muse whose presence is █▓ █
█ █▓ more of a MacGuffin than anything █▓ █
█ █▓ else, a vehicle for T-Model to █▓ █
█ █▓ amass a pile-up of old blues tropes █▓ █
█ █▓ about suffering, betrayal, and █▓ █
█ █▓ mortality. █▓ █
█ █▓ █▓ █
█ █▓ Indeed, blues tradition is a sort █▓ █
█ █▓ of shape-shifting presence here; █▓ █
█ █▓ T-Model sticks to the typical █▓ █
█ █▓ sounds and themes but arranges them █▓ █
█ █▓ in unconventional ways, using the █▓ █
█ █▓ blues as a common vernacular for █▓ █
█ █▓ his own self-expression. How else █▓ █
█ █▓ would one explain a record that █▓ █
█ █▓ blurs the lines between HowlinÆ █▓ █
█ █▓ Wolf-style vamps and juke-joint █▓ █
█ █▓ rave-upsû the latter best █▓ █
█ █▓ represented by the standout ôBig █▓ █
█ █▓ Legged Woman,ö where Olive SmithÆs █▓ █
█ █▓ piano work lifts this thing out of █▓ █
█ █▓ the shadows and into full-on party █▓ █
█ █▓ mode? Or the fact that the album █▓ █
█ █▓ begins in a relatively traditional █▓ █
█ █▓ electric blues configurationû █▓ █
█ █▓ albeit one that blurs the lines █▓ █
█ █▓ between different blues █▓ █
█ █▓ subculturesû but takes a wild left █▓ █
█ █▓ turn into full-on psychedelic █▓ █
█ █▓ terrain, sweaty B-3 organ and █▓ █
█ █▓ baritone sax adding a touch of the █▓ █
█ █▓ surreal, all while T-ModelÆs voice █▓ █
█ █▓ is put through a filter that makes █▓ █
█ █▓ him sound less like a bluesman than █▓ █
█ █▓ some weird, disembodied carnival █▓ █
█ █▓ barker? █▓ █
█ █▓ █▓ █
█ █▓ Actually, for the bulk of the █▓ █
█ █▓ record, youÆre not going to be able █▓ █
█ █▓ to make out much of what the man is █▓ █
█ █▓ actually singing, but that, it █▓ █
█ █▓ seems to me, is almost beside the █▓ █
█ █▓ point. Remember: ItÆs not the █▓ █
█ █▓ story, but the way itÆs told. You █▓ █
█ █▓ donÆt need to know the words to █▓ █
█ █▓ know that this man is singing the █▓ █
█ █▓ bluesû wildly impure, and in its █▓ █
█ █▓ own way perfectû and heÆs singing █▓ █
█ █▓ it like his life depended on it. To █▓ █
█ █▓ hear him tell it, it probably does. █▓ █
