Red or Orange Vinyl

On July 22, 2008, James "T-Model" Ford stepped into Planet Paul Studios in Wichita, Kansas at the end of his first formal tour in years. Rumors of his demise had been laid to rest after two weeks of T-Model's performing his raw, rough & tumble blues. T wanted to play acoustic guitar and have 100 percent control over the record, so everyone agreed he should do it the way he wanted. The engineer simply let the tape roll and T-Model made it look easy. One song after another just rolled out of him. The Ladies Man is the product of this afternoon in Wichita. This is pure T-Model, with some newer young musician friends playing along with him. It is also the only acoustic album T has ever recorded and it's a blast. "I don't have a care in the world," T-Model would remark occasionally. He'd back it up by taking time in the studio to sip Jack Daniels from his flask and tell "blue" stories or tales of his life's hardships to his new set of listeners. At 88 years old, he appeared younger and livelier than many folks a fraction of his age and this amazing record is the proof.
