Free Music Review: The Baddest Man
Hit: 4 Stars
I was at the Baltimore Blues festival a few years back under a hot sun and full of whiskey (which is the only proper way to listen to the blues). The festival was for the most part okay. Nearing the end everyone migrated over to the tent where the man was gonna play. The announcer stood up on the stage after T-Model had dragged himself up there and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the baddest man on the planet!" He wasn't lying.
It's nice to see T-model go back to basics. This album is full of the attitude, energy, and just plain nastiness of the first three. Although I am a fan of Pee Wee Get My Gun, and still thinks it's his best, Bad Man is a must by for any true blues fan.
Bad Man Poster
Legendary Memphis producer Jim Dickinson has nailed the vibe of this octogenarian Delta bluesman's rag-tag club and juke-joint gigs. That's good for purists, but not necessarily for fans of Ford's previous Fat Possum albums. The foot-stomping irrationality and whimsical violence of earlier numbers like the barking "To the Left, To the Right" and "If I Had Wings" have been traded for Ford's dusty-throated Howlin' Wolf imitations ("Ask Her for Water" and "Backdoor Man"), low-key dynamics, and meandering tempos. The sole surprise is "The Duke," an instrumental with Dickinson providing moonshine-inspired barrelhouse piano. Strip away Ford's legitimate eccentricities, which the label's house production team has played up in the past, and he's merely a competent guitarist with a drummer-sidekick, Spam, who knows just two patterns. The roughly autobiographical title track does tap Ford's reserve of twisted energy a bit as it totters over a dizzy roadbed of drunken chords and slide licks while he groans about his lost gun. But too often, Ford sounds more tired than tough here. --Ted DrozdowskiAlternative Rock Music CDs
