SE 4 Ep 28 - John Mayall Tribute Album Feature - Bluesbreaker

  “In 1965, British blues artist John Mayall enlisted Eric Clapton – then a rising guitar virtuoso – to join his band, the Bluesbreakers. While their musical partnership would only last for one album, the guitarist’s imprint was mighty. Affectionately known as “the Beano album” (as it features Clapton reading the British comic on its jacket cover), 1966’s Bluesbreakers forever changed the landscape of rock music.”   Following the sad passing of the legend John Mayall last week, I’m paying tribute to the godfather of British blues by featuring this groundbreaking and highly influential 1966 release John Mayall with Eric Clapton Bluesbreakers.  The standout release of 1966 that changed the face of popular music forever and gave rock blues its place in modern music.Plus new releases from Shemekia Copeland, Kevin Welch, Charlie Musselwhite, Chris Cain, Mondo Cortez and The Chicago Blues Angels, Sonny Gullage, Parlour Greens, Jontavious Willis and Blues Arcadia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
