Jim Ford

Jim Ford was one of the great best-kept secrets of American music: a singer-songwriter, Sly Stone's close friend, and the single biggest musical influence on Nick Lowe. His songs were recorded by Aretha Franklin, Bobby Womack and the Temptations – yet after one mythical album he all but vanished.

The bearded Southerner with the broad drawl released his first and only album, Harlan County, in 1969. Musically it inhabited the same territory as From Elvis In Memphis or Dan Penn's Nobody's Fool: hot country guitars, New Orleans-styled piano and a bedrock of hard-driving, sweat-soaked funk and soul. Ford's singing recalls the colourful medicine-show acts that toured rural Kentucky at the start of the twentieth century.

Ballads such as Love On My Brain and Changing Colors are enduringly beautiful, while danceable tracks like I'm Gonna Make Her Love Me or Under Construction have lost none of their groove. Harlan County made few waves at the time, but the number of admirers grew year after year.

Nick Lowe, who met Ford in England in 1970, described him as a man with a dangerous aura and a unique songwriting gift. Sly Stone, who spent much time with him in the 1970s, simply called him a genius. Ford later withdrew to the northern coast of California, where almost no one laid eyes on him – a legend who preferred to live out of sight.
