There are\u00a011 tracks on the album that include eight originals written by\u00a0Mayall, and three covers of work by Bettye Crutcher, Jimmy\u00a0Rogers and Jerry Lynn Williams. Some of the tracks are\u00a0augmented by a punchy three man horn section giving the\u00a0music an extra dimension.<\/p>\n<p>This writer has seen Mayall perform many times over the years,\u00a0the most recent being a homecoming performance at the Whiskey\u00a0in Hollywood in 2015. He has dabbled in jazz and swing as well\u00a0as hard blues in his many incarnations, and this album sees him\u00a0continue in that rich vein of music. Mayall is more an adequate\u00a0than a great vocalist and musician, but he sure puts on a good show\u00a0and of course the musicians he picks are the best.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/imgres-23.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-790\" src=\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/imgres-23.jpeg\" width=\"500\" height=\"280\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That list includes <strong>Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Walter Trout<\/strong>,\u00a0Mick Fleetwood and John Mcvie. Now you can add Joe Walsh to that\u00a0hallowed crowd, even though he has not joined up and quit the Eagles quite\u00a0yet. He appears on a couple of tracks here, and Walsh fans will need to check\u00a0his work out, especially his soulful and bluesy solos on \u201cThe Devil Must Be\u00a0Laughing.\u201d The fact that it only took one take to record the song is\u00a0quite staggering, and by all accounts he showed up at the studio\u00a0around Noon, plugged in his guitar and was out of there in a couple\u00a0of hours. Walsh has always wanted to play with Mayall and was\u00a0quoted as saying \u201cwhen you meet a hero who helped shape your\u00a0career-it\u2019s a wonderful feeling to find they\u2019re even cooler than you\u00a0always thought they were.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mayall\u2019s regular guitarist is no slouch either, and the work by Rocky\u00a0Athas on \u201cGimme Some of That Gumbo\u201d is particularly good.\u00a0However in a shocking and surprising development, John Mayall\u2019s\u00a0Bluesbreakers are now performing as a trio since September 2016\u00a0following the departure of Athas. Apparently Athas missed some shows\u00a0due to severe weather conditions, so the band had to perform as a trio\u00a0and Mayall liked what he heard. It makes for a good story true or not,\u00a0and the seven year veteran of the band Athas is now performing as a\u00a0solo artist.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/imgres-24.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-791\" src=\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/imgres-24.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"190\" height=\"265\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mayall, who is now in his late eighties, continues to gig regularly,\u00a0and is currently on a grueling European tour. The man who used\u00a0to have the biggest pornography collection in the world before his\u00a0house burnt down is still going strong.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnmayall.com\">www.johnmayall.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fortbelowrecords.com\">www.fortybelowrecords.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/spiritsman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/tn-10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2952\" src=\"http:\/\/spiritsman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/tn-10.jpg\" alt=\"tn-10\" width=\"88\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Michael Hepworth<\/p>\n<p>287 S.Robertson Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90211<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/spiritsman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/search.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3012\" src=\"http:\/\/spiritsman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/search.jpeg\" alt=\"search\" width=\"105\" height=\"85\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.perfectmealtoday.com\/\">www.perfectmealtoday.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:perfectmealtoday@gmail.com\">perfectmealtoday@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MrSpiritsman\">http:\/\/twitter.com\/MrSpiritsman<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/spiritsman\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/passets-ec.pinterest.com\/images\/about\/buttons\/follow-me-on-pinterest-button.png\" alt=\"Follow Me on Pinterest\" width=\"169\" height=\"28\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spiritsman.com\/\">www.spiritsman.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:mrspiritsman@gmail.com\">mrspiritsman@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.perfectskintoday.com\/\">www.perfectskintoday.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:perfectskintoday@gmail.com\">perfectskintoday@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.perfecttraveltoday.com\/\">www.perfecttraveltoday.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:perfecttraveltoday@gmail.com\">perfecttraveltoday@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.perfectmealtoday.com\/\">www.perfectmealtoday.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:perfectmealtoday@gmail.com\">perfectmealtoday@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.perfectgolftoday.com\/\">www.perfectgolftoday.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:perfectgolftoday@gmail.com\">perfectgolftoday@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.perfectmusictoday.com\/\">www.perfectmusictoday.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:perfectmusictoday@gmail.com\">perfectmusictoday@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.champagnewinemaison.com\/\">www.champagnewinemaison.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:champagnewinemaison@gmail.com\">champagnewinemaison@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/alquimie.com.au\/publication\/\">http:\/\/alquimie.com.au\/publicatio<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/spiritsman.blogspot.com\/\">spiritsman.blogspot.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
