John Hammond

Blues guitarist John Hammond made his debut on Vanguard in 1964 and recorded four albums between that and the next year.  By 1967, he had signed with Atlantic for one album.  As often happens in these cases, Vanguard put together an album of outtakes which became Mirrors, also released in 1967.  The record contains both acoustic and electric material with Hammond being backed on the electric side by members of The Band.  This is Hammond's only Vanguard album which has never before appeared on CD.
