John Hammond: Mirrors
John Hammond: Mirrors
Label: Vanguard Records
Year: 1967
Bluesmen come in all different shapes and sizes whether it be social class, race, gender or whatever. On his fifth Vanguard (Recordings For The Connoisseur) release, John Hammond performs authentic blues songs with the likes of Charley Musselwhite in addition to Robby, Levon and Eric Hudson of The Hawks/Band. Sure, it would have been nice if Levon had sung and perhaps Mike Bloomfield should have chipped in on guitar in addition to piano on side one, but John proves that he’s no nepo baby on side two.
