5.0 out of 5 stars John Hammond par excellence!!!!!, June 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Country Blues (Audio CD)

This is Johnny Hammond at his supreme solo best. If it is possible for an artist to outdo HIMSELF, then this is it! If you listen to no other Hammond album, make sure you hear this one. Even the guitar is perfect-- clean. tense and hypnotic. Wow!

If you like blues John's a must have! He gives out more energy on the acoustic guitar than some electric blues bands! This is a must have for your collection. Great vocals, great guitar, great harp!
