John Hammond- IN YOUR ARMS AGAIN- CD- 2005- Virgin Music/Back Porch- 724356060029- 400 grn
A legitimate treasure of American roots music, John Hammond has made other people's songs his own during his decades-long career. On his latest venture, IN YOUR ARMS AGAIN, Hammond once again takes up the pen with the album's title track and Come To Find Out. The veteran singer/guitarist returns to his roots with a stripped-down trio following the textural experiments of 2003's David Hidalgo-produced Ready for Love and his heralded 2001 collection of Tom Waits songs, Wicked Grin. Every choked note and moaning phrase of his voice rings with total commitment to numbers made famous by Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed, and Bob Dylan, including a version of Wolf's "Evil" that gets extra menace from Stephen Hodges's thunderous, impulsive drumming. That's how it should be. For the last 42 years, Hammond's made his career as an energetic interpreter of songs rather than as a writer. Nevertheless, the tunes he penned for this set [the title cut and "Come to Find Out"] fit comfortably among the classics. They explore love and lamentation in acoustic settings using Hammond's voice, guitar, and harmonica; Marty Ballou's upright bass; and Hodges's rim-slapped snare to kick up Delta dust. Fans of Hammond's guitar, muted on his other recent releases, will dig his versatile six-stringing - especially his laid-back virtuosity on slide acoustic and resonator guitars.
PERSONNEL: John Hammond, Jr. (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Marty Ballou (double bass, bass guitar); Stephen Hodges (drums, percussion).
Son of legendary Columbia Records producer John Hammond (II), guitarist/singer/harmonica player John Hammond (III) has been waist-deep in the blues since the mid-1960s, and, along the way, he has recorded with such legendary figures as Dr. John, Duane Allman, and the Band. IN YOUR ARMS AGAIN finds Hammond exploring the junction between electric urban blues and acoustic country blues.
The tracks [an eclectic mix of blues standards and blues-inspired covers (Ray Charles, Bob Dylan)] are presented in a primarily acoustic framework. These tunes are given a bracing jolt of electricity via some spare-yet-snarling electric guitar, searing midnight wails of amplified harmonica, and the whomp of drums that sound like stomping feet. Vocally, Hammond is still working his yowling, rough-hewn style -what he lacks in subtlety he more than makes up for in raw, rollicking soulfulness. IN YOUR ARMS AGAIN is a fascinating (and fun) venture into the blues that conjures up a historic turning point, when country moved into the city, when dirt roads were traded for moonlit asphalt and concrete.
