“…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's sound is so compelling, complete, symmetrical and soulful with just his voice, guitar and harmonica, it is at first impossible to imagine improving it... He's a great force of nature. John sounds like a big train coming. He chops them all down.”
—Tom Waits
Blues Hall of Fame inductee John Hammond remains the only person to have had both Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton in his band at the same time. The Grammy Award-winning acoustic guitar legend has recorded over 33 albums since cutting his teeth during the mid-60s blues renaissance, amassing critical acclaim for his solo act of wailing the blues with a harmonica around his neck.
