JOHN HAMMOND 

HARVARD STADIUM, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS 

PRE-CONCERT (1970) 

John Hammond is still singing the blues, after all these years: "For four-plus decades, Hammond has, like many itinerant country-blues artists before him, played acoustic guitar with a fast-fingered finesse that leaves audiences marveling at his technique. Like [Robert] Johnson, Hammond sometimes gives the impression he’s playing two guitars simultaneously – one holding down the bass line, and the other delivering fiery rhythm work and solos." – Russell Hall 

More Hammond these days, here and here and here and here and here

JANIS JOPLIN ... AND THE INFLUENCE OF BIG MAMA THORNTON

AND 

THE INFLUENCE OF 

BIG MAMA THORNTON 

Janis Joplin at Her Last Concert 

Harvard Stadium, Boston, Massachusetts 

August 12, 1970 

In his review of "Big Mama Thornton in Europe," discussed in yesterday's post, Bob Koch traces the influence of "Big Mama" on "Pearl":  Thornton "could belt it out," Koch wrote, "but she shows on this album that she could also pull it back when needed, a lesson clearly absorbed by acolytes such as Janis Joplin."
