Blue Eyes And Red Eye

The organ of dreams



From Doors to Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, the PFM. It 'was one of the main ingredients in the careers of many '70s rock icons. But success is much broader Hammond (crosses many genres from jazz to funk to blues) and much more durable (began in the '50s is still popular today).

Born in the depression years in the U.S. as an alternative to expensive pipe organs, was released early from those churches for which the engineer Laurens Hammond had planned to become one of the most popular. Without barriers of genre or style. A phenomenon which was repeated only with the electric guitar.

These days he is celebrating the anniversary and since its uniqueness made me love has always been a total failure even reference in his post, I just celebrate it at least!

And if it is true that reminds you that unmistakable organ tens if not hundreds of songs, I chose the one that remains for me the ' Hammondiana par excellence.

Waiting to hear from you, happy listening ...
