Description

Blues from Laurel Canyon is a blues album, through and through. Testimony to this is the fact that there's a guitar solo only 50 seconds into the opening track. Indeed, Mayall dispersed the entire brass section for Blues from Laurel Canyon, and instead chose the solid but relatively limited backing of Mick Taylor (guitar), Colin Allen (drums), and Stephen Thompson (bass). Instantly, it is apparent that John Mayall hasn't lost his touch with the blues. Vacation," the album's opener, reminds one exactly why this artist is so celebrated for his songwriting ability

John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers was an English blues rock band, led by singer, songwriter, and t John Mayall, OBE. While never producing a radio-friendly hit on their own, the Bluesbreakers' greatest legacy is as an incubator for British rock and blues musicians. His new stuff is good; he has a wonderful time on stage, but this remains his best. Quick shipping from vendor & as advertised, so Win-Win.

John Mayall embarked on a new chapter in his storied career in the first weeks of 1969, when he entered the UK charts with his first solo record since retiring the band name the Bluesbreakers. Recorded in London by the great guitarist and frontman, the album was inspired by an area thousands of miles from his birthplace in Macclesfield. It was titled Blues From Laurel Canyon, after the California locale that would become his adopted home
