 Rating:  - Nice for Brits to intro the US BLUESI wrote my comments after I read someone saying Mayall had all these originals. They are covers, and the originals are well worth listening to. At the time this release came out, BLACK artists were not allowed to play on US radio. WHITE STATIONS called ALL BLACK MUSIC-- "RACE MUSIC." I can understand how a young kid in high school would 'really dig' this album. I just wish there was a real effort to make the TRUE ORIGINALS heard, generally for the first time, by so many people who 'loved the blues' for '40+ years,-- back when this "64-ish" record came out into the racist, limited airwaves that were all kids could hear.. Its suprising how Jimi and many others were actually not ALL ORIGINAL, dont get me wrong, I love him TERRIBLE, and SRV, ... Read More: Rating:  - John Mayall And The Bluesbreakers 1966From the opening track, "All Of Your Love", from the closing track, "Bernard Jenkins", this album is non stop ride of blues and R&B and rock all mixed together too make this 34 minute album. Its a true classic and this the only album you need by them. I cant even describe how great this CD is its one of the best blues albums of all time in my opinion Love this CD you have gotta own this if you listen too eric clapton or cream.... you dont know what your missing Rating: - BluesbreakersBluesbreakers, John Mayall With Eric Clapton ***** To not go track by track describing the genius of each track is going to be a challenge as every song here is worth outstanding merit. Before Bluesbreakers who knew Brits had so much soul, I know I didn't. But the music heard and played here is beyond comparison and beyond inspired. The heartfelt playing from Clapton would never be matched again, Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs came mighty close but still falters in comparison to this. Mayall alone was a powerhouse already but teamed with the great Clapton and they were unstoppable. As you all know this was the album that made Clapton. He had the Yardbirds before this but this is what sparked the 'Clapton is God' ... Read More: Rating: - One excellent reason to buy this: Clapton at his bestWhen this first came out (LP), anyone who played guitar HAD to have this. While Clapton had played in the Yardbirds, few really noticed his solos at the time. Instead, he seemed to come from nowhere preceded by his "Guitar God" reputation. We largely tuned out Mayall's voice and the horns and just focused on the guitar work. I listened to this repeatedly until I could hear it note-for-note in my mind's ear. It was, and still is, Clapton's best work. It was, and still is, among the very best electric-guitar-blues playing ever recorded (I love SRV and Mike Bloomfield, too). Every cut on which Clapton plays is a gem and a master piece (except the one featuring the drummer where not much else happens). [And, frankly, the 2 featuring Mayall's ... Read More: Rating: - Still greatI hadn't heard this album in 30 years, since I had it on vinyl. It is still as great as ever - better than I remembered, probably because I have a better appreciation now for Mayall and what he contributed to the world. Clapton was just about to reach God status and it's easy to see why his rise was meteoric. |
