Not a household name, but still had a following. Sorry I missed him a few years back in Lafayette. Here's a cut with Duane Allman.
Grammy-winning blues singer and guitarist John Hammond, whose career spanned six decades, has died. He was 83.
Billboard Canada reported that Hammond died on Sunday due to cardiac arrest. His friend and musical collaborator Paul James, also confirmed the sad news.

“The blues world has lost a giant. I’ve lost my best friend,” James said, per Rolling Stone. “I’ve just been going through the photos we’ve shared over the years — from the Horseshoe Tavern to Albert’s Hall in Toronto, from London to Montreal, to Edmonton to Ottawa — and each picture tells a story of great music, great people, and unforgettable nights. He was such an inspiration to me, I’ll miss him terribly.”
The son of legendary music producer and talent scout John Henry Hammond Jr. (who discovered Billie Holiday, Count Basie, and Bob Dylan), John Hammond dropped out of college to pursue a musical career.
