Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Sensational I didn't think John could outdo his "Wicked Grin" album (a must have), but he did! There's a great "Fats Domino" type song, my personal favorite. The album is rhythm and blues; it's rock & roll; it's just really really good. Rating: - Tour America's back roads with John Hammond It gleams ambulance white and bubble gum pink. Matching interior. With a front seat like a sofa, and a back seat the size of a porch, this sweetheart is powered by a V-8 so confident it has no need to roar. It purrs. Take a tour of America's back roads with with John Hammond in his slick Crown Vic. Rambling, for forty plus years now, Hammond is the consumate tour guide, never telling the same story the same way twice: he'll turn a true story into a fable of wonder or polish a lie until you can see straight down to it's core of truth. He delights in showing us the beauty in what we routinely overlook or purposely avoid. On "Ready for Love", it's country and western music as he does songs by Freddie Hart and George Jones. There are two more Tom Waits compositions and Waits' presence can be felt in Hammonds on "Slick Crown Vic" which gets this collection primed for a smooth ride. He performs a jazz vocal standard like "Comes Love" with the same ease that he brings to the obscure Jagger-Richards track, "Spider and the Fly" (a highlight). He gets us to listen anew to the Little Richard/Elvis Presely "Money Honey" by giving it a complete overhaul, and brings a swamp vibe harkening back to "Ground Hog Blues" for 1973's unfairly recieved "Triumverate", to Willie Dixon's "Same Thing", another warhorse. Producer David Hidalgo of Los Lobos also salvages two songs from his 1999 side project "Houndog". Holdovers in the band from last year's brillant "Wicked Grin" are Augie Meyers: piano and Stehpen Hodges: percussion. Whether you'd just discovered John Hammond through his association with Waits or you've been with him for a while, change the oil, wipe the windows and enjoy the ride.
