    by Diana Olson
    After playing their blues, R & B and rock for 20 years The Hammers released their first cd "Newark Fried Chicken" in September 2006. Flexing their variety between the band members priority styles, the album starts with Rippin & Runnin (with a Jerry Lee Lewis influence). "Your Right (Married Life)" is soulful and takes you to "Hot Hand" with its heavy beat. "Looking for a Girl" has a real soulful groove and "Something Inside Me (Kirwan)" tells a story of full deep blues and gets you set in the blues mood for the rest of the CD. "Since you Messed Up My Mind" has you tapping your feet. This album is definetly one you should own if you like the blues with alittle rock. It puts you right there....in the New Jersey bar with the band....wanting to sing your soul out.
