With recording experience spanning late seventies-present, some selective high profile support slots with major league musicians including Mick Taylor , Steve Gibbons and UK Blues legend John Mayall , a plain case of guilty of association resulted in a group of likewise individuals recording a gritty selection of Americana.

L.A. Burnout :: A Compilation

The genesis of this post goes back to the end of 2006 via a longtime AD reader. If you've been around a minute you may remember L.A. Burnout from January of 2007. As I mentioned a couple of years ago, these are the tunes I was spinning while reading both Laurel Canyon: The Inside Story [...]

Reviews: The 'Old' Guys

Reviews: The 'Old' Guys As I've said before, there's nothing better than some "classic rock" to accompany a lazy weekend afternoon on the patio (along with some beer, of course). I use the quotation marks because what I usually dig up is current music put out by so-called classic artists - you know, old guys. I have to admit: it's heartening to see our elders still carrying the rock and roll banner, even if the stuff they put out is only a pale imitation of their best work from their prime. Even mediocre albums from rock heroes like Bruce Springsteen and U2 [...]

John Mayall “Blues From Laurel Canyon”

John Mayall “Blues From Laurel Canyon” John Mayall is of course the Godfather Of British Blues, first recording in 1965 and still touring and recording prolifically today, well into his seventies. My favourite of his many albums is this offering from 1968, which is both a collection of original blues-based songs with contemporary psych overtones and also a diary in music of his three-week vacation in Los Angeles that summer: either a song cycle or a concept album, according to your own definitions, but certainly unique among the slew of straightforward blues albums being produced by white performers on both sides of the Atlantic at the [...]

Der Speermürli-Blues

Erst auf den Berg zum Alm-Öhi, dann zum Küchenhock beim Stadt-Öhi und am Ende zum Blues, wie sich das gehört. So war der Plan.Das Leben schert sich aber meist einen Dreck um Pläne und ändert nach Belieben deren Verlauf. Das nennt man dann auch Blues.I woke up that morning.Um sechs in der Früh rief mich der sechste Berg in den vergangenen vier Wochen. Schweizer Nationalfeiertag, strahlend blauer

John Mayall - The Academy, Dublin (21/7/09)

My one presiding memory of visiting my granddad when I was knee high to a shepherd's pie is, of all things, screwing around with the old man's stair lift. Utterly lost on me and my brother was the importance of the machine for allowing my granddad easy ascent – all we saw was a hilarious toy that distracted us from the boring grown-up talk that was going on around us. I'm fairly certain we broke it at least twice, but hey, boys will be boys. Or, in this case, boys will be annoying little brats. I'd like to [...]

John Mayall & His Bluesbreakers - All Your Love
John Mayall has been prominent on the music scene for 50 years and promoted the blues in the UK for that long - he served in Korea for 3 years! In the sixties he formed the Bluesbreakers and played at the Marquee. They backed John Lee Hookers first UK tour in 1964. In 1965 a certain Eric Clapton joined the lineup - thats when I got interested (I was only 11 then!). The Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton was released in 1965. I was a little older [...]

Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton

I have been wanting to write about John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers for some time. When I discovered that there were British musicians who could play the blues it amazed me. I know you are probably wondering what I am talking about, but imagine being a kid in the seventies, growing up down in Louisiana sourounded by the blues, who thought that blues was muscic played only by the people in my neighborhood. LOL. It took some time to find my way to the Bluesbreakers. So I like to present this CD [...]

Spacelines - Sonic Sounds For Subterraneans

Spacelines - Sonic Sounds For Subterraneans This is Pete Kember's (aka Sonic Boom, founding member of Spacemen 3) compilation of some of his favorite songs and influences, which he originally aired during a DJ set on UK radio, but has since compiled into a CD and double LP set. The package comes with liner notes describing the selections and why they were so inspiring. For example, Kember says of The Staples Singers' tune "This May Be The Last Time," "This Gospel gem, I believe written by Bobby Womack, is obviously the root of the Stones hit from '65. Pop Staples remains for me the greatest unsung [...]

Johns: John Mayall

Johns: John Mayall John Mayall : Have You Heard [ purchase ] I mentioned here that John Mayall was the center of the British blues-rock scene of the 1960s. Most of the major figures in the scene perfected their art in Mayall's band the Bluesbreakers, before going off on their own. Most notably, that's Eric Clapton on lead guitar on Have You Heard. Jimmy page also did time in John Mayall's band. Mayall himself plays harmonica, piano, and rhythm guitar, and does a fine job in each case. So why [...]

Burnout :: Part One of Three Running the Drunkard has put me in touch, both through email and in person, with some great folks, many of whom have been eager to share their musical best-kept-secrets, and in the case of this post, their excellent themed compilations. The L.A. Burnout comp was mailed to me in November from a longtime reader based in NYC, which coincidental arrived at the same time I was reading two books chronicling the late sixties-early seventies Laurel Canyon incestuous music scene.
