Reader Reviews
"Ready for Love" kicked off with a surprise for Hammond fans...the title track is his song! Hammond had said around the time the CD came out that he'd not been pleased with early attempts at writing, but I certainly had not problem with this one. Kind of a Hooker-ish guitar line, and that deep, drawling tone of voice, quite alright with me. John did pick some interesting covers: Freddie Hart's "Easy Lovin'" got a very different workout, somewhere between country and blues, Tom Waits' "Gin Soaked Boy" and a couple of George Jones tunes, "Color of the Blues" and "Just One More." Augie Meyers and David Hidalgo (Los Lobos) figured in the recording and it's really a good recording. Some unusual tracks, some different takes and some definite work put in to make this album stand out from others. This CD gets regular play by me, that should say something.
