Cover of the one coming out next year looks great.
ah, too bad...I always thought of him as the belligerent drunk to Lee Hazlewood's mellow drunk...sez he co-wrote "Ode To Billy Joe", and I got no reason to doubt him...RIP...

Nobody got this one yet? On the liner notes of the first one Jim called out Bobby Womack for ripping him off, on this one Bobby defends himself, saying well there was one song that I "traded" with him for some other songs.

i got it. about 5 really great songs, which is about what you can expect from "unreleased shit dead dude had in his trailer" type of release. stories about him make him out to be a complete fucking lunatic. my faves are "point of no return" (seriously, this is life-altering) and "mill valley"

found several cassette tapes with studio musings and songs from Jim Ford - Anyone know what to do with them> He was laid to rest last year, and the double CD album seemed to find almost everything he recorded in studio

Some of this material is like Gram Parsons at his most lackadaisical, inviting the "I like this guy and what he's trying to do but couldn't they have tightened the screws a little on this number?" response.
Had not known "Harry Hippie" was actually about Bobby Womack's brother and what happened to the brother afterward.
Wonder what happened to the stash of cassettes and musings
