John Hammond - Big City Blues [Yellow]

Step into the smoky clubs and gritty streets of 1960s Chicago with Big City Blues, the electrifying second studio album from blues revivalist John Hammond. Originally released in 1964, this classic is finally back on vinyl—now pressed on a vibrant 12-inch yellow wax.

Hammond digs deep into blues tradition with raw, passionate covers of legends like Howlin’ Wolf and Bo Diddley. Highlights include the swaggering “Backdoor Man,” the gritty groove of “No Money Down,” and his searing take on “I’m a Man”—each delivered with fire, soul, and a whole lotta harmonica.

This album captures the energy of a live juke joint set, with Hammond’s vocals and guitar work hitting with unfiltered intensity.

A must-have for blues purists and vinyl collectors, this long out-of-print gem shines bright—literally and musically—on yellow vinyl.
