JOHN HAMMOND
MIRRORS
ORIGINAL 1967 first pressing of rare blues album classic that among other stabdouts includes main members from THE BAND (Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm & Garth Hudson) and Mike Bloomfield guitar...
John Hammond, is one of the great Blues rockers, traditionalists, and preservationists. John is a very underrated guitarist, and this album demonstrates how good his electric guitar work can be. With a career that spans over three decades, John Hammond is one of handful of white blues musicians who was on the scene at the beginning of the first blues renaissance of the mid-'60s. That revival, brought on by renewed interest in folk music around the U.S., brought about career boosts for many of the great classic blues players, including Mississippi John Hurt, Rev. Gary Davis, and Skip James. Some critics have described Hammond as a white Robert Johnson, and Hammond does justice to classic blues by combining powerful guitar and harmonica playing with expressive vocals and a dignified stage presence. Within the first decade of his career as a performer, Hammond began crafting a niche for himself that is completely his own: the solo guitar man, harmonica slung in a rack around his neck, reinterpreting classic blues songs from the 1930s, '40s, and '50s.
