Browsing: John Mayall

On February 22nd, Forty Below Records will release ‘Nobody Told Me’, the new studio album from The Godfather of British Blues, John Mayall.

“John loves his fans and is sorry to disappoint you, but is looking forward to seeing you soon at a venue near you. In the meantime, your prayers and good vibes are much appreciated!”

“And that’s the nice thing about the blues is you can tell your stories through words and music.”

Aside from the new trio format and the live presentation, what adds exponentially to this experience is the mix. It’s ambient, raw, sparse, and immediate.

In our opinion, this is the some of the best music that Mayall has laid down in years. ‘Talk About That’ is exciting, varied, and satisfying, and will be viewed as a milestone work…

His life story reads like the blues version of a Grimm fairy tale…

“Blues and jazz are intertwined; you can’t separate one from the other. It’s just different flavors. It all comes from the same place.”

‘Jazz Blues Fusion’ is a perfect example of what today’s so-called hipsters strive so hard to project and achieve: suave cool that is unforced, awakened from the depths of a carefree spirit and an unbound, buoyant heart.

Known as a bit of a quirky child, Mayall built a tree house behind the family home in Cheadle and used it as his bedroom.

On a cold day in early March, guitar hero Walter Trout was checked into a hospital at UCLA with no guarantee and a dwindling hope of leaving alive, but Walter is a man with a dangerous combination of goals and determination.
