WELCOME TO LPCDREISSUES
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 by Robert Johnson, Sonny Boy Williamson, Willie Harris, Lightin' Hopkins, Eddie Boyd, Chester Burnett, Jimmy Reed, etc... This CD collection includes 25 of Hammond's finest moments, featuring many of the musicians who have accompanied him over the years, including members of "The Band", "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.
