{"product_id":"john-hammond-rough-tough-hybr-cd","title":"John Hammond - Rough \u0026 Tough (Hybr) [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver a career spanning more than fifty years, Grammy winner John Hammond has stood as one of the most compelling torchbearers of solo acoustic blues. Rising to prominence during the 1960s folk revival, Hammond steered clear of the electric trends of the era in favor of a raw, unadulterated approach. With just his battered acoustic guitar, rack-mounted harmonica, and deeply expressive vocal delivery, he captures the fiery essence and unfiltered grit of the genre's earliest pioneers.Rough \u0026amp; Tough finds the blues titan in total command of his craft, tackling a handpicked selection of post-war Chicago standards alongside a pair of his own compelling original tracks. From the raw, foot-stomping groove of \"\"Statesboro Blues\"\" and the driving rhythm of Muddy Waters classics to a surprisingly swinging rendition of \"\"Chattanooga Choo Choo,\"\" Hammond breathes fresh vitality into every bar. His uncompromising virtuosity and instinctual groove earned this landmark solo set a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional Blues Album in 2009.Engineered with Chesky's trademark minimalist technique, this release places you directly inside the acoustic space, capturing every subtle string squeak, foot tap, and vocal nuance with astounding transparency. Rough \u0026amp; Tough will be reissued on SACD Hybrid Stereo and 180g One-step Pressing Light Orange Vinyl LP as part of the Chesky Original Masters series.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Mind Is Ramblin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStill a Fool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp the Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Time After Awhile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGot to Find My Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe's Tough\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChattanooga Choo Choo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStatesboro Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Can Tell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet Behind the Mule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Place to Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlick Crown Vic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome to Find Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt Hurts Me Too\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Can't Be Satisfied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4895241453281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chesky Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.23.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vinyl Revival Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58733680951456,"sku":"4895241453281","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/5899\/5360\/files\/4536424-3694818.jpg?v=1787013731","url":"https:\/\/vinylrevivalrecordstore.com\/products\/john-hammond-rough-tough-hybr-cd","provider":"Vinyl Revival Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
