Our Take

John Hammond may not be a household name, but in the blues world, he's a legend. His latest release, "Best Of The Vanguard," is a delightful trip down memory lane, showcasing his soulful vocals and masterful guitar skills.

From the opening track, "Big Boss Man," to the hauntingly beautiful "Drop Down Mama," Hammond's raw energy and undeniable talent shine through. His gravelly voice adds a touch of authenticity to each song, transporting listeners to a smoky Mississippi juke joint.

The album is a perfect blend of traditional blues and modern sensibilities, with Hammond effortlessly blending acoustic and electric styles. Tracks like "Shake Your Money Maker" and "My Mind Is Ramblin'" will have you tapping your foot and nodding your head in appreciation of Hammond's timeless talent.

One highlight of the album is Hammond's powerful rendition of "I Can Tell," where his soulful vocals soar over a backdrop of electrifying guitar riffs. It's a true showcase of his artistry and passion for the genre.

Overall, "Best Of The Vanguard" is a must-listen for any blues enthusiast or music lover looking to expand their horizons. Hammond proves once again why he's considered a master of his craft, leaving listeners wanting more with each soulful note. Sit back, relax, and let the blues magic of John Hammond wash over you.
