Legendary bluesman John Hammond was featured on the Dec. 7 edition of Greasy Tracks.
Here’s the archive, while a playlist is here.
In addition to diving deep into Hammond’s catelog, the show focused on the just-released You’re Doin’ Fine which captures Hammond in two shows at the Boarding House in San Francisco. Recorded by Owsley Stanley in 1973, the three-CD set is part of the on-going series of Bear’s Sonic Journals by the Owsley Stanley Foundation.
Hammond only did a few interviews in conjunction with the release and WRTC got one of them. He shares insight on how this live collection came to be as well as some memories from across his 60-plus year career.
