When John Mayall passed away in July at 90, most of the obituaries focused on how Eric Clapton quit the Yardbirds to join Mayall’s Bluebreakers. Mayall was well respected in the early ’60s for his devotion to the blues. Clapton wasn’t the only noted rock star to have been a member of his constantly changing band. Fleetwood Mac members John McVie, Mick Fleetwood and Peter Green had spent time with him. Clapton’s Cream member bassist Jack Bruce had also studied under John. Others Bluesbreakers alumni over the decades include Aynsley Dunbar (Frank Zappa & Jeff Beck), Mick Taylor (Rolling Stones) and even Patrick “Putter” Smith (one of the killers in Diamonds Are Forever). Mayall’s legend as the godfather of the British Blues grew. Queen Elizabeth II named him an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2005. He finally got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year although the ceremony isn’t until October. Another posthumous induction because Hall of Famer voters dragged their feet. The one thing most of the American obits lacked was any reference to his actual music. Classic rock stations around here don’t actual play any of his 36 studio albums. The only place that I’ve ever heard his music is on Little Steven’s Underground Garage. John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers – Up Close and Personal – Live In Texas gives you a sense of what it was like when Mayall and his band showed up in your town at the end of the ’90s.
