Johnny Hammond – Gambler’s Life
Johnny Hammond – Call On Me
Johnny Hammond – Star Borne
I am all kinds of busy here on Super Bowl weekend, (I actually won’t be doing the radio show this week, though I’ll be leaving you in the very capable hands of Ali Lexa), getting ready for a big game I’m actually interested to see. But, I didn’t want that to get in the way of some good music and our weekly dig deep feature here. I’ll add fully thoughts about this album early next week, but safe to say this might be my favorite Mizell Bros. production from the 1970s. Especially the sublime “Call On Me” which just seems perfect for a lazy sunday afternoon. Speaking of Sunday afternoons, instead of the usual liner notes, this LP features poetry, including this piece about Sundays. Back with more after I recover from my forthcoming Super Bowl hangover.
Cheers,
Michael
