Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 5.00 out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best of the white blues men
This and the other early Vanguard blues albums by Hammmond backed by a superb band including Charlie Musselwhaite & Levon Helm are simply the best renditions of the classic Chigago/Urban blues sound by a white practitioner. So authentic is Hammond's voice that I'd wager even an Afro-American would have trouble with ethnic ID! Some might say that his phrasing is a little exaggerated, but Hammond is so good that often his covers transcend the original, say this "Prejoodiced Whahte Bouy"! The backing band and the recordings are both absolutely top notch and all these albums REALLY COOK. Even if you're not a blues fan, Hammond could convert you! It's a wonder these albums did not catch on when first released - this was way back in '64 or so. After all, J.Lee Hooker's Dimples made the top 10 in UK(Where I hail from).The CD is Almost as good as the Vinyl as well, so my old LP's can take a break!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - John Hammond Tour De Force!
John Hammond delivers a Tour De Force! With such blues classics as "Back Door Man", "I'm A Man" and "No Money Down" - John Hammond delivers the powerfully sensual and poetic lyrics in an incredible Mick Jagger-ish style fusing with this HOT BAND and in doing so, setting a High Water Mark for all of us to look at and marvel upon. 35 YEARS LATER, this recording soars with POWER, GRACE and DETERMINATION - inducting it for this writer into 'The Greatest Gospel/Soul Recordings of All-Time' along side with Aretha Franklin's historic Muscle Shoals Sessions and Laura Nyro's 'Eli and the Thirteenth Confession'.
