John Mayall was one of the musicians I had a deepest respect for. He had a career that spanned 60 years and he was always relevant. He had a nose and ear for talent and the list of names that passed through his Bluesbreakers is nothing short of impressive. From his blues laments, through concept albums about his youth and life, fantastic live albums, incredible Memphis and New Orleans albums all the way to his last album which found it’s way to our year end list, John never released a dud. And he worked virtually until his last year. John Mayall leaves a deep void behind. John Mayall not only left a mark on rock’n’roll and blues. He is a thread in this fabric without which it just wouldn’t hold together the same way. This is an hour long tribute to Mayall and it contains music only from the first 10 years of his career. Other 50 years were sparser with releases, but always strong. Checking out what’s new with Mayall was always exciting and now all we can do is admire his legacy.
