Reviews4 stars out of 5 - "...A splendidly untraditional traditional-blues album....sounding like a worthy companion to Bob Dylan's TIME OUT OF MIND....The 2 new Tom Waits songs are knockouts...", "...A Potent Brew and a Great Synthesis of 2 Unique Artists...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...A genuine revelation...Hammond savors every last low-life syllable of every spiked boho-spiel with top-dollar back-up....A rambunctious joy from beginning to end...", "...The arrangememts have all the care-worn beauty you'd expect and, vocally, Hammond's classy singlemalt proves just as satisfying as Waits' rough-assed moonshine...", "...This veteran blues revivalist has a strong, vibrant tenor that gives these melodies a clarity and warmth Waits could never have produced...", "...Hammond doesn't try to reinvent Waits' mule-boned wheel onthese 13 tunes, slathering on some extra greas licks here and there, but largely honoring the style of the originals performances..."

  • White man sings the Blues

    Brilliant musicians playing Tom Waits covers. Makes you realise the quality of the songwriting. The only possible downside is that Tom Waits is probably better. But then you knew that! Still a good listen, and makes you go back to listen to the originals. All available on ebay.
