John Hammond is Gettin The Blues

Interview and Performance with John Hammond
"…a blues legend with a voice like Robert Johnson's and a demeanor that belies his tear-it-up might before an audience…" - The New York Times
"John Hammond is not only "America's modern country blues man," he is 100% the "real deal." - Paul Aaronson, Elmore
"He interpreted blues standards, gut-bucket boogie, country blues, and his original blues compositions about love gained and lost through the complex narrative of his own wayward soul…The blues are a living, breathing, and feeling thing, and Hammond in his fiftieth year on the road is a legendary master at live performance." - Blues Revue

"Raw electric blues generate the album's primary thrust, riddled with cross-harp riffs, cresting organ runs, boogie piano breaks, stomping beats and Hammond's wonderfully weathered vocals." - The Washington Post, review of Push Comes To Shove
"A brilliant and prolific artist, John Hammond's reputation can only improve." - offBeat Magazine
"…a bluesman to be reckoned with." - Time Out New York

"…like bourbon, his voice only gets more seductively potent with age." - Billboard, review of Ready For Love.
"…[A] tour de force by the veteran bluesman…An inspired match of artist, material and production, Wicked Grin is a Tom Waits album nobody thought possible and a John Hammond album nobody could have expected." - San Francisco Chronicle, review of Wicked Grin
