John Mayall was the leader and musical prodigy of the British Bluesbreakers Band which featured some of the most successful rock musicians of the '60s and '70s. Celebrated for his legendary songwriting ability, Mayall was, as well, a remarkable performer.
This recording is truly Mayall's blues alone. Except for the occasional help from his drummer Keef Hartley, he plays every instrument on this recording--drums, bass, harmonica, piano, organ, and his custom 6 and 9 string guitars. Recorded in London at the Decca studios in May of '67, this CD was co-produced by Mike Vernon and Mayall. It was engineered by David Grinstead and Gus Dudgeon and spent five weeks on the Billboard charts in the summer of '68.
