	John Mayall
		Widely acknowledged as the father of British blues, Mayall remains its hardiest perennial, continuing to expand the boundaries and impact of the music he loves.
		Mayall, in fact, shuns such celebrity oriented fare, subscribing instead to the simple pleasures he derives from writing and performing new material, as well as extending the blues tradition.
		Mayall composed the solemn "Double Life Feelings" during a Bluesbreakers soundcheck just prior to a recent performance in Sweden.

	John Mayall, Blues Musician from Macclesfield, Cheshire, UK - 1933.
		John heard a guitar player on record who he very much wanted in his band, and, come April 1965, it was goodbye Roger, hello Eric Clapton, the former lead guitarist with the Yardbirds, joins the Bluesbreakers.
		With John on keyboards, harmonica, guitar and vocals, a rhythem section of McVie and Flint, and Eric Clapton as the undoubted star of the show, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers entered what was to be the classic phase of its history.
		John Mayall has seen and done it all; he has played with the best musicians in the world and weather through good time and bad, he has never stopped working.

	VH1.com : John Mayall : Biography
		Mayall's output has caught some flak from critics for paling next to the real African-American deal, but much of his vintage work -- if weeded out selectively -- is quite strong; especially his legendary 1966 LP with Eric Clapton, which both launched Clapton into stardom and kick-started the blues boom into full gear in England.
		Mayall, too, had the reputation of being a difficult and demanding employer, willing to give musicians their walking papers as his music evolved, although he also imparted invaluable schooling to them while the associations lasted.
		Mayall turned quickly to Peter Green, who managed the difficult feat of stepping into Clapton's shoes and gaining respect as a player of roughly equal imagination and virtuosity, although his style was quite distinctly his own.

	MetroActive Music \| John Mayall
		The sole Mayall reference in the Stone piece is the inclusion of the classic 1966 record Bluesbreakers--John Mayall with Eric Clapton, the album that launched Clapton's career yet was great mainly because of Mayall's magnificently soulful feel for the medium and his sly, non- conformist style of blues songwriting.
		Mayall's life and career have inspired countless musicians, and not only blues bands: the members of Green Day have repeatedly stated that their earliest inspiration was Mayall and the Bluesbreakers.
		JOHN MAYALL was born in 1933, in the small town of Macclesfield, England, and grew up amid the turmoil of World War II.

	[Slowhand] Review - John Mayall, "70th Birthday Concert"
		John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers And Friends, "70th Birthday Concert," -- with Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor, Chris Barber, and a horn section led by former Bluesbreaker Henry Lowther -- will be released as a double CD on Tuesday, 18 November here in the US.
		And last but not least, is John Mayall, who will reach the age of 70 on 29 November, celebrating his birthday 4 months and 10 days early this year, as indicated by the album's title.
		Mayall may be approaching 70, but I have never seen a younger 70-year-old, both physically and mentally (and both musically and bluesically, of course).

		Of course, to pinpoint 14 extraordinary tunes from Mayall’s career is as impossible as finding the proverbial pin in a haystack due to an industriously recorded output that number in the high hundreds.
		At 70, Mayall is, respectfully, one of the elder statesmen in the history of rock.

		John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers are blues legends that have been the cornerstone of British blues since the '60s.
		Mayall also looks bloody good for 70 years of age, especially when you consider the life of most bluesmen and rock and rollers; after all, many fail to reach half that age.
		Mayall has been playing the blues so long there is every likelihood that he could play in his sleep, and he quite possibly does.

	DIG Internet Radio - Interview: John Mayall
		British blues great John Mayall, who will be in Australia as one of the headliners of the Melbourne International Music & Blues Festival, is well aware that a substantial part of his reputation is based not on his own recordings but on the musicians who have passed through his band.
		Mayall's best-known song in Australia remains Room To Move, taken from the 1970 album The Turning Point, which was the theme for a much-loved ABC radio program in the 70's.
		While Mayall's career stalled in the 70's, it was rejuvenated in the 80's with a Bluesbreakers reunion, albums on major labels and a determination by the blues man to continue to record and tour.

	The History of Rock Music. John Mayall: biography, discography, reviews, links
		A spectacular harmonica-player and a terrific conductor of ensembles, John Mayall was for several years the main reference point for the British blues scene.
		Mayall named his next album for the concept he was pursuing: Jazz-Blues Fusion (Polydor, 1972) but his vision was perhaps too ambitious for his composing limits, although the record does provide some suggestive hints for others to follow.
		Mayall has created more music than any other bluesman and is the only musician who has tried, albeit irregularly, and managed fusion with both rock and jazz.

		Mayall's discography is staggering in its size and the wealth of its chronicle of blues songs and musicians.
		This year, Mayall has two DVDs, "Cookin' Down Under" and "Godfather/Turning Point," and a new CD called "The Turning Point Sound Track." Though Mayall is the father of six and grandfather of six more, he is truly the godfather of the blues.

		Mayall, a capable if not exactly stellar singer and multi-instrumentalist, is best known for the many fine players who passed through his band over the years, and Eric Clapton, the most renowned of the lot, is on hand here, as is former Mayall/Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor.
		John Mayall's vocals in is old age have improved (that is always controversial- I don't think him a really horrible singer).
		John does a good job, but it is curious that with his lack of real talent on the harmonica he would do a tune about Little Walter as well as one of Little Walter's own songs.

		Mayall on stage a couple of times: sounding like a soul band at the (sadly missed) Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, Texas ('77?) and much later playing de Brit blooze on the good ole' parking lot 'Heden' in central Gothenburg - with Carlos Montoya or Walter Trout on lead guitar.

		Mayall explained that one of his longtime goals had finally reached fruition.
		Mayall, who remembers "Bugle Call" by the Mills Brothers as the first record he heard, was quite influenced by his father's record collection, which exposed him to such revered performers as Django Reinhardt, Eddie Lang, Lonnie Johnson, Louis Armstrong, and Charlie Christian.

	SLIPKID'S Concert Photos - John Mayall
		John Mayall has been soldiering along playing his own brand of "british" blues for what seems like forever now, surrounding himself over the years with a multitude of monster musicians (Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Jack Bruce, etc).
		This show was billed as something like "John Mayall and the ORIGINAL Bluesbreakers", which of course was completely incorrect.
		Mayall's band lineup of this particular concert has left an indelible impression upon me however, as Walter Trout's guitar amplifier blasted searing lick after searing lick directly into my right ear all night, leaving me with impaired hearing in that ear to this day.

		In April 1847 Mayall opened the American Daguerreotype Institution in London, explicitly naming it American because American daguerreotypes were known for greater clarity and polish and were of a larger size.
		Mayall became renowned as a portraitist; within his first three years in England, he photographed Sir John Herschel, Sir David Brewster, and Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre.
		In 1855 Mayall sold the American Daguerreotype Institution and began to mass produce cartes-de-visite, small, calling-card-size photographs that were inexpensive to make, easily exchanged, and extremely popular.

		Mayall's first post-Bluesbreakers album saw the man returning to his roots after the jazz/blues fusion that was Bare Wires.
		Thoughno-one would seek out a John Mayall album for the authenticvocals--he barely sounds American, let alone fl--his choices of both musicians and musical settings are always impeccable, and LAUREL CANYON delivers the goods on both counts.
		Despite the cover pics of Mayall pretending to be a backwoodsman communing with nature and some crass lyrics the music hits the spot most of the time.
