The funny thing is that when I first saw John Mayall in 1967 I thought that he was so OLD. Thanks Mr Woods and Powell for the links. I didn't mean BluesbrAkers, it is - of course - BluescrEAkers or CreambrEAkers or Blousebreakers or Creamcrackers. #THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE 1936 KICK ASS TV#Okay, now it's time for all the unrealistic diehards to say things like "Islands is a really great album!" and "Robbie's latest Native American "World Music" is absolutely fantastic!"įrom (204.238.130.67) Bones From: Ctīesides Ed Sullivan and SNL, did the Band ever make any other TV appearances?įrom (195.163.208.244) Ilkka "Acadian Driftwood" is tedious as well as depressing although I'd characterize it as good when compared to the rest of the tripe appearing on Cahoots, Northern Lights, and Islands. I have a taped interview with Ronnie from the 80s, no idea who it was by, but the question comes up and Ronnie is fully aware of Mayall.įrom .uu.net (63.23.134.139) Crabgrass From: The Front Lawnīenteen - Almost agree with you especially the comment on Robbie but justice has prevailed as proven by the unsuccess of his latest dismal albums (which seem to get progressively worse.) I'd have to say that I love Stage Fright almost as much as the first two albums though and as for the balance of the studio albums "Ophelia," "It Makes No Difference" and "Don't Do It" are the only great cuts. The connection between himself and Hawkins is a strong one. Before he moved to London in the early 60s, he used to live in a tree house in Macclesfield - where he was brought up. John Mayall had one of my heroes in his band, Peter Green. No wait, got it used for $2 Canadian w/ the Cabbagetown Cafe sleeve (that's about 59 cents US). Wonder what the running time is on this one. Side two especially is the cat's ass ("Promised Land" rocks). MM far surpasses similar (then current) LPs by Bowie and Lennon. There are many artists whom I think most of us would consider important-Lee Dorsey for example-who never wrote any of their own material. I love this record (listening now as I speak). IMHO the great album missing from many discussions here is 'Moondog Matinee'. Just to clarify, though, it was Mayall in the treehouse.įrom ppp7738.on. (206.172.191.226) Richard Patterson From: St Kits He has done more with the pentatonic/blues scales than anyone other guitarist, in my opinion. Lee, I've got to agree with you whole-heartedly about Peter Green. To anyone who mentioned Tom Waits 'Mule Variation' in the last month or so: Wow!įrom (216.179.14.81) Gene From: Dutchess County Holy Cow!
