LOS ANGELES, CA (Perfect Music Today) 1\/9\/18\/– \u2013 Blues Hall of Famer\/\u201cGodfather of British Blues\u201d John Mayall will release an album of live recordings titled Three for the Road<\/em><\/strong> on February 23 via the Forty Below Records label. Produced by John Mayall and Forty Below Records president Eric Corne, the new album was recorded live in Dresden and Stuttgart, Germany, in March of 2017. The nine tracks on Three for the Road <\/em><\/strong>include fan and personal song favorites played by his trio: John Mayall (vocals, keyboard, and harmonica), Greg Rzab (bass) and Jay Davenport (drums).<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope the fans will enjoy the fireworks that the three of us came up with during a subsequent tour of Europe last year,\u201d Mayall says. \u201cWe opted for recording in East Germany purely as a convenience and availability of a recording company. They specialize in live recordings and I must say they captured the energy that took place onstage. The songs come from my extensive library of material composed by some of my favorite blues players.\u00a0Naturally, my playing is featured quite a lot more than usual in this format, and I hope listeners will enjoy the performances that capture a new chapter in my live shows.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Mayall has been utilizing the current trio format for over a year. Long-time followers of the legendary British blues master know to expect the unexpected from Mayall, who always likes to keep his sound fresh, both in terms of musical ideas and in the band members he\u2019s utilized throughout his 50-plus year career.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been using the trio format for our live shows for a year already,\u201d he states, \u201cand the reason for that came about quite accidentally when my guitarist Rocky Athas wasn\u2019t able to make a festival gig due to airline cancellations. Since then, I found that the interplay and dynamics have created a more personal upfront sound in my live performances. I can\u2019t speak too highly of bass player Greg Rzab and drummer Jay Davenport, who have been my bandmates for the last ten years or more. Their Chicago roots are to the fore every time we get onstage together.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Three for the Road <\/em><\/strong>comes one year after the release of his last studio CD, Talk about That<\/em><\/strong>, which saw Mayall\u2019s then-four piece band joined by a special guest, legendary guitarist Joe Walsh, who played on two tracks, \u201cThe Devil Must Be Laughing\u201d and \u201cCards on the Table,\u201d both John Mayall compositions. Talk about That <\/em><\/strong>garnered tremendous reviews from the fans and media alike, while also generating extensive radio airplay. It came after John Mayall\u2019s induction into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2016.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For over 50 years, John Mayall has served as a pioneer of blues music, rightly earning him the title, \u201cThe Godfather of British Blues.\u201d\u00a0In 2013, John signed with producer Eric Corne\u2019s label, Forty Below Records, and the four studio albums \u2013 along with two landmark Bluesbreakers live 1967 recordings – released since continue to raise Mayall\u2019s recognition as a true pioneer and innovator in blues and roots music. He continues to perform extensively both in the USA and abroad, and has an ambitious touring schedule in place for the rest of the year that was booked by Monterey International Artists (www.montereyinternational.net<\/a>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As for what\u2019s next on John Mayall\u2019s horizon, he\u2019s giving fans an early head-up as what\u2019s to come in the future.\u00a0 \u201cAs for recording, I shall still be exploring the talents of guitar players who will be pretty well-known to all lovers of rock and roll. They will be strongly featured on the next studio album. I have already got songs lined up for our sessions in the studio at the end of this month. So look out for the prominent interplay and surprises that will be coming your way later this year. Thanks for all your support as usual. I couldn\u2019t do it without you!\u201d<\/p>\n
