Review

The issue of whether a white boy can sing the blues was settled a long time ago, when Jimmie Rodgers let loose his railroad hobo moan. The question of whether John Hammond--the privileged white son of a legendary record-industry talent scout--could sing the blues with the same legitimacy and deep feeling as his Afro-Delta inspirations took somewhat longer to answer. As Jerry Wexler observes in his liner notes, Hammond finally dispelled all doubters with this 1992 release, coproduced J.J. Cale. Backed on most tracks by Little Charlie & the Nightcats, Hammond proved he can step out with a hot band as soulfully as he can accompany himself on acoustic guitar and harmonica. The brilliantly chosen program ranges from Blind Willie McTell, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter to Amos Milburn, Mose Allison, and Charles Brown (who makes a guest appearance on a couple of tracks). Trouble No More will stand not only as Hammond's best all-around album, but one of the definitive blues releases of the '90s. --Rick Mitchell
