John Mayall is an icon in the world of blues music and the
Godfather of British blues. A pioneering musician, blues promoter
and talent scout for over 50 years, his uncanny knack of picking
young, talented musicians and then nurturing them in his bands is
the stuff of legend. Under his guidance as leader and sometimes
father figure, his groups developed into a blues school of learning
par excellence. Many young members became huge stars later on,
among them brilliant musicians such as Eric Clapton, Peter Green,
Jack Bruce, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Mick Taylor and drummer Jon
Hiseman. In Mayalls bands, an incredible 130 musicians have done
their apprenticeship and earned their spurs. Top bands like Cream,
Fleetwood Mac or Colosseum would never have existed without his
inspiration and guidance. Now 80 and showing no signs of slowing
down, John Mayall has an amazing back catalogue totalling some 86
albums, and has played over 5000 live concerts all over the world.
He is still rated as one of the most influential and respected
figures in the international blues and rock scene. This is the
first detailed biography of Mayall, illuminating not only his life
and career, but also providing deeper, more detailed insights into
the development of his many fellow musicians. It follows the young
Mayall from the early days of jamming in his tree house as a
teenager to the vast tours he undertakes today. Even die-hard blues
fans will find a lot of undiscovered anecdotes and stories here, as
the book covers all phases of the Mayalls career and not just the
60s.
