John Hammond - Walkin' Blues Live... Chicago & Toronto (2017)

John Hammond live at the Chicago Blues Festival, Chicago in 1991 and at Albert's Hall, Toronto in 1992. John Hammond, also known as John Hammond Jr. And John Paul Hammond, made his first album in 1962 aged 20. He was a part of the legendary New York City Village music scene of the 1960s and while his friends were out there revolutionizing rock music, he concentrated on the blues music that gave birth to it.
