Blues from Laurel Canyon was fabulous.....I was introduced to it by an American when I was in my very early 20s and still very British...it was mindblowing. |

Saw him live at a small club in Birmingham Uk many many many many years ago, when Eric Clapton had just left the band, and this bloke called Peter Greene had replaced him. John Mayalls Blues Breakers were awesome. So a very special happy birthday to you. |

I suppose it was Mayall who I first heard play blues, which lead me to listen to many other blues performers both old and new. I remember seeing the band with Jon Mark, Johnny Almond and Larry Taylor, first time his band had had no drummer. I thought Bare Wires was even better than Laurel Canyon (I still have my mono LP). It's true that at one time if you were to be taken seriously as a rock musician part of your CV had to read 'used to play with John Mayall'. Probably the only bloke who's sacked more musicians than Ashley Hutchings! |
