Synopsis

Album Description

Beautiful second album released in 1964 by Vanguard. One of the first electric white blues recordings and one of the very first that could be said to be blues-rock. John Hammond (backed by Billy Butler and James Spruill on guitars, Jimmy Lewis on bass and Bobby Donaldson on drums) is covering a variety of Chess Records' classics and electrifying some older tunes. Contains 7 bonus tracks 'They Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just As Bad)', 'Statesboro Blues', 'Keys To The Highway', 'I Just Got Here', 'I'm A Man', 'Backdoor Man' & 'Baby, Won't You Tell Me'. Miniature LP sleeve with original artwork.
