CD Reviews

I'm Satisfied...Almost

John B. Ivey | Denver | 08/05/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"It was with great delight that I purchased this CD. As a long-time John Hammond fanatic, I waited a long time for this release. Normally, by virtue of Hammonds singing and guitar/harp playing, I would give this release a 5-star review. That being said, The Source Point portion of this release is classic John Hammond. The all-around performance is brilliant. It's the I'm Satisfied portion that I have a little trouble with. While John's performance is fine to very good, Delaney Bramletts production seems a little cluttered. While Bramlett has been a fine producer for other artists (i.e.Eric Clapton), he seems to have taken a mis-step with Hammond. Hammond band recordings sound better in a more traditional setting, not the tambourine-shaking,R'n'B Gospel mode that Delaney favored in those days. Still, if you're a big John Hammond fan, you're going to like this CD. How about 4 and 1/2 Stars?"

Old John Hammond

"Admittedly, I'm biased. "I'm Satisfied" was the first blues album I ever bought; still have it, too. Meanwhile, been looking for it on CD (yes, I can rip and burn from the LP, but that's a last resort). The album sounds as good and fresh today as it did way back when. And picking up "Source Point" was a treat. If you're a fan of John Hammond, then you owe it to yourself to hear these two recordings."

BOB DYLAN's Guitar player for years!

"Seriosly, This guy played on Dylan's '60's albums. John Can play it like no other! These 2 fine blues style ablums from the 1970's are finally out on cd! - Just in time too, for I have been playing the lp's just a few to many times - I enjoy Hammond from the early 1960's albums of acoustic blues to the 2007 release. Electric or Acoustic blues - John, keep the jams coming & I'll keep supporting it - I love to play 'em all!"
