John Hammond
LATEST ALBUM
TIMELESS (January 2014)
John's newest album, Timeless, marks his 52nd year as a recording artist.
Fittingly, it was named Best Acoustic Blues Album at Annual Blues Music Awards on May 7, 2015. The new CD adds to an already incredible career, having released thirty-five solo albums since 1964's Big City Blues.
Timeless, following on the heels of 2010's Grammy nominated CD Rough and Tough, was recorded live at Chan's in Woonsocket, RI (one of Hammond's favorite venues in the world). The album honors a host of legendary and hugely influential blues artists including Chuck Berry, Elmore James, Howlin' Wolf and Bobby "Blue" Bland, as well as the living legend and longtime collaborator and friend of Hammond's, Tom Waits.
