James Lewis Carter Ford (c.early 1920s - July 16, 2013) was an American blues musician, using the name T-Model Ford. Unable to remember his exact date of birth, he began his musical career in his early 70s, and continuously recorded for the Fat Possum label, then switched to Alive Naturalsound Records. His musical style combined the rawness of Delta blues with Chicago blues and juke joint blues styles.

The very first House of Blues opened its doors in a converted historical house in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1992 and is home to live music, original folk art, and delta-inspired cuisine. Grown out of founder Isaac Tigret's love for blues music, the House of Blues is dedicated to educating and celebrating the history of Southern Culture and African American artistic contributions to music and art.
