John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers : The Supernatural [ purchase ] I grew up in a small town. The only merchant in town was a general store that did not sell records. The nearest town of any size was five miles away. And, in 1967, I was seven years old. Yet, I heard many of the newest rock albums the day they were released. How? My oldest brother was twelve, and that nearby town had a Woolworth's that sold records. They were very inexpensive by today's standards, even adjusting for inflation. [...]
It's Sunday night, a mug of java at my side, a computer open before me and a seemingly endless litany of paperwork to take care of. Not complaining mind you, just setting the mood. For tonight, I need something smooth, something organic, but warm with soul and texture. I peruse the massive stacks of vinyl that seem to take up nearly every square inch of my office, searching for that perfect sound. The perfect accompaniment to tonight's plan. My fingers flip through album after album. Many, like Riot or Triumph are just too loud [...]

I don't know how many of you folks are familiar with the work of John Mayall. You won't hear his music on Classic Rock radio, but if you did it would probably be his 1969 single "Room To Move." It was recorded live at the late Bill Graham's Fillmore East in july of 1969. It was the first song I ever heard by John Mayall. Again, my friend Jim's older sister had a copy of The Turning Point, the record "Room To Move" appeared on, on and we played her whole collection between 1974 and 1975. By that time the [...]
