T-Model Ford, Tivoli Utrecht 1997.
James Lewis Carter Ford (June 24, 1923 – July 16, 2013) was an American blues musician who performed under the name T-Model Ford. He began his musical career in his early seventies and continuously recorded for the Fat Possum record label before eventually moving to Alive Naturalsound Records. His musical style combined the rawness of Delta blues with Chicago and juke joint blues styles
Ford was born in Forest, Mississippi sometime between 1921 and 1925. Although some researchers claim that Ford was born on June 24, 1923, at the time of his death his record company gave his age as 94, suggesting that he was born in either 1918 or 1919. Conversely, Ford's passport stated that his date of birth as June 24, 1921, while his Mississippi driver's license read that he was born on June 27, 1924.
