Description:
Bluesman John Hammond Jr. has produced a steady flow of bona fide, top quality blues since the mid 1960s, and has played an essential role in keeping alive blues classics. This collection includes 25 of Hammond's finest moments, featuring many of the musicians who have accompanied him over the years, including Roger Hawkins, Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Jimmy Lewis, Garth Hudson The Band, Jimmy Thackery, Mark Wenner, Jan Zukowsky, Pete Ragusa The Nighthawks, Michael Bloomfield, Charlie Musselwhite, Roosevelt Sykes, Eddie Hinton, and Duane Allman. Hammond uses gravelly soul drenched vocals, hypnotic guitar and incessant wild harmonica to sign his name in the book of blues. |
