JOHN HAMMOND "IN YOUR ARMS AGAIN" Ⓟ&ⓒ 2005 Back Porch EMI 072435-60600-2-9 Made in EU CCCD (Copy Controlled CD) John Hammond, who seemed to have broken new ground with his previous album produced by Tom Waits and the one before that by David Hidalgo, returns to his roots with this album released in '05. It's a simple blues session featuring the sound of the National steel guitar pictured on the jacket. The album includes Ray Charles' ② I Got A Woman (also performed by the Beatles), ⑤ Fool For You, Howlin' Wolf's ④ I'm Leavin' You and ⑩ Moanin' For My Baby, Willie Dixon's ⑥ Evil, Jimmy Reed's ⑧ You Got Me Crying, John Lee Hooker's ⑨ Serve Me Right To Suffer, Percy Mayfield's ⑪ My Baby's Gone, and even Bob Dylan's ⑫ I'll Be Your Baby Tonight, among others. The album's content, which weaves these tracks with traditional songs and John's own compositions, can be said to be John's true form. The quality of the finished product is impeccable. ① Jitterbug Swing 4:18 ② I Got A Woman 3:05 ③ In Your Arms Again 3:09 ④ I'm Leavin' You 3:34 ⑤ Fool For You 3:52 ⑥ Evil (Is Going On) 3:30 ⑦ Come To Find Out 4:05 ⑧ You Got Me Crying 4:03 ⑨ Serve Me Right To Suffer 4:06 ⑩ Moanin' For My Baby 4:38 ⑪ My Baby's Gone 3:35 ⑫ I'll Be Your Baby Tonight 4:36 Vocals, Guitar, Harp, Produce – John Hammond Bass – Marty Ballou Drums, Perc. – Stephen Hodges Executive Producer – Marla Hammond
