While some of us are happy to feel sorry for ourselves as we get older and haven't accomplished our dreams, T-Model Ford isn't one of those people. The 90 year old bluesman didn't get started in music until his 70s and he's set to release a new album, "Taledragger," in January through Alive Records. Take a peek at the new album with a free download of "Comin' Back Home," a classic sounding blues track that more than hints of Howlin' Wolf's "Smokestack Lightning."

T-Model Ford is one of the last living bluesmen, no question about it. His contributions are invaluable to the modern blues movement...that is, what modern blues movement there is anyway. If you dig the dirty blues sound of T-Model Ford, you would do well to check out Possessed by Paul James, Left Lane Cruiser, Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir, Ten Foot Polecats, Sleepy Eyes Nelson, Tiny Legs Tim, C.W. Stoneking, and the like.
