With over 70 albums and a career that spans over 50 years, John Mayall was the personification of living blues. Born in 1933, he grew up listening to the boogie woogie records of his jazz musician father and taught himself how to play guitar, piano, and harmonica. In the early years of his career, John sought out talented young British blues players and mentored them into stars. Names like Eric Clapton, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Mick Taylor, and others all got their start in his band, The Blues Breakers.  Later, after moving to the states, Mayall continued to seek out the cream of musicians to play and record with. In 2024, he was finally inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame, and yesterday, July 22,  2024, he passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his loving family. This week we salute the "God-Father of British Blues and the man I call "The Dean of The University of British Blues".Intro - Art School Boogie 1957 by The Powerhouse Four (Time Capsule, 2000) 1 Bernard Jenkins w/ Clapton, guitar.  Jack Bruce, bass (Bluesbreakers, 1966 - expanded)2 Hideaway (Freddie King) w Clapton/ John McVie, bass (Bluesbreakers, 1966)3 The Stumble (Fredie King) w/ Peter Green, guitar / John McVie, bass/ Mick Fleetwood, drums  (A Hard Road,1967)4 Little By Little (Jr. Wells) w/ Paul Butterfield, harp and vocals (A Hard Road, 1967 - expanded)5 Driving Sideways (Freddie King) w/ Mick Taylor, guitar (Crusade, 1967)6 Greeny w/ Peter Green, guitar and Ansley Dunbar , drums (Crusade, 1967 -expanded)7 Brown Sugar w/ Keef Hartley, drums (Blues Alone, 1967)8 Laurel Canyon Home - John Mayall (Blues From Laurel Canyon, 1968)9 The Bear w Mick Taylor, guitar (Blues from Laurel Canyon,1968) 10 Don't Waste My Time w/ Larry Taylor, bass (Empty Rooms, 1970)11 You Must Be Crazy w/ Harvey Mandel, guitar, Larry Taylor, bass, Don "Sugar Cane" Harris, violin (USA Union, 1970)12 I Could Cry w/ Coco Montoya, guitar, fea.
