Hammond Rens by Kresten Osgood, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Michael Blake
Kresten Osgood recently discovered a box of the legendary Hammond Rens double CD in a basement.
It was out of print but now we have a few more copies to sell. The album was released in 2003 and is considered one of Hammond organ master/legend Dr. Lonnie Smith´s best albums.
It won a Danish music award when it came out and is a quite unusual organ album. Groovy and swinging, but also featuring the original voice of saxophonist Michael Blake.
