| | washingtonpost.com: JOHN HAMMOND "In Your Arms Again" Back Porch |
 | | As a live performer, he is an invaluable link to the early '60s, when many of the original bluesmen were still in their prime, but his recordings often seem superfluous. |
 | | Such is the case with his latest release, "In Your Arms Again." He displays his usual excellent taste in material, tackling compositions by Reed, Howlin' Wolf, Willie Dixon and John Lee Hooker. |
 | | Playing both electric and acoustic guitar in a trio format with bassist Marty Ballou and drummer Stephen Hodges, Hammond does the tunes justice but fails to add much that's new. |
