I Can't Find The Recent Thread On Recently Rediscovered Singers That Mentioned Jim Ford So I'll Start A New One For Him

damn, i was hoping this was just blog BS.

RIP, jim ford, and i wish i had found a copy of "harlan county" years and years ago instead of waiting 34 years to hear it.

I think the other rekkid is out now.

i'm buying it as soon as i can find it

Well?

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
