John Mayall and Keef Hartley recorded The Blues Alone, in one day at Decca's studios in Broadhurst Gardens in May 1967. Completely self-written, Mayall plays everything bar drums and creates a densely atmospheric, singular take on the blues. It may lack the virtuoso soloing of the preceding albums, but makes up for it in feel, talent, and passion. This re- issue faithfully replicates the original 1967 Decca Records UK stereo release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"ROCK \u0026 ROLL HALL OF FAME RECORD STORE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44029282418857,"sku":"40338-R","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/5982\/5577\/files\/4214256-2979176.jpg?v=1762443578"},{"product_id":"john-mayall-the-turning-point-blue-color-vinyl-lp","title":"JOHN MAYALL - THE TURNING POINT - BLUE COLOR - VINYL LP","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"aec-product-description\" class=\"col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aec-desc-review collapse\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1969 was a \"turning point\" year for John Mayall as yet another change was in the works as Mick Taylor left John Mayall's Bluesbreakers to pursue his tenure with The Rolling Stones, a revolving pattern that John was very familiar with as many future stars like Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Jack Bruce, etc. Would find earlier homes with past Mayall line-ups. While moving to California and becoming very entrenched with his new surroundings, he soon became very popular on rock, college and underground radio stations. John Mayall felt the inner need to expand with another set of accomplished musicians who could help him take his artistry to the next level, which brings us to his 1969 smash blues rocker \"The Turning Point.\" Featuring seven tracks recorded at the famed Fillmore East in New York City, this particular masterwork would go on to be one of his most popular albums in his 100 plus LP catalog. Featuring one of the biggest songs of his career \"Room To Move\", this particular tune brought a massive record buying public to the artist, and would develop his career to top of his game stature for the next 5 decades. The line-up of musicians is second to none with friends like the late Jon Mark (guitar), the late Johnny Almond (sax\/reeds), and bassist Steve Thompson, whom was a great hold over from the \"Blues From Laurel Canyon\" band. More great works like \"The Laws Must Change\" \"California\" and \"Thoughts About Roxanne\" would find their way on to early FM underground rock radio stations, as the critically acclaimed bluesmans' music would become more important than ever with a whole new larger audience thanks to his new direction in sound and performance. Friday Music is very pleased to revisit the legendary John Mayall masterpiece \"The Turning Point.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"ROCK \u0026 ROLL HALL OF FAME RECORD STORE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44029292347561,"sku":"24408-R","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/5982\/5577\/files\/4211545-3172735.jpg?v=1762443579"},{"product_id":"john-mayall-the-sun-is-shining-down-vinyl-lp","title":"JOHN MAYALL - THE SUN IS SHINING DOWN - VINYL LP","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"aec-product-description\" class=\"col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"aec-desc-review collapse\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn his latest album, The Sun is Shining Down, out January 28th via Forty Below Records, Blues legend John Mayall teams up with a stellar cast to deliver a funky soulful affair punctuated by brass, violins, harmonica and electric ukulele. Special guests include, The Heartbreakers' Mike Campbell, fast rising roots rocker Marcus King, Americana icon Buddy Miller, Scarlet Rivera of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Review, Chicago blues guitar mainstay Melvin Taylor and Hawaiian ukulele star Jake Shimabukuro. Also on hand are Mayall's longtime dynamic Chicago rhythm section of Greg Rzab on bass guitar and Jay Davenport on drums with Austin's multi-talented and charismatic Carolyn Wonderland on guitar. Recorded at Robby Krieger's (The Doors) Horse Latitudes studio with Grammy nominated Producer Eric Corne, The Sun is Shining Down is Mayall's 5th studio album for Forty Below Records, a fruitful partnership that began with 2014's A Special Life. \"I couldn't be happier with the new record,\" exclaims Mayall. \"I can't wait to share it with my fans. Each one of these special guests brings something unique to the album and our team works so well together. I think you can hear that chemistry in the music,\" raves Mayall. The album explores a range of styles and eclectic instruments. Scarlet Rivera's violin beautifully compliments two Mayall originals, the timely \"Got to Find a Better Way\" and a spirited reboot of the Mayall classic \"Deep Blue Sea\". Mike Campbell sounds like a natural born Bluesbreaker on the funky Bernard Allison cut \"Chills and Thrills\" and Marcus King sizzles throughout the soulful \"Can't Take No More,\" another Mayall original. Buddy Miller's baritone tremolo guitar adds a unique and memorable flair to the Bobby Rush composition \"I'm as Good as Gone\", while Jake Shimabukuro's electric ukulele is nothing short of astonishing on \"One Special Lady\". Melvin Taylor proves why he's been wowing Chicago blues audiences for decades on \"Hungry and Ready\" and \"Driving Wheel\" and Carolyn Wonderland brilliantly concludes the record with a sensitive moving performance on the title track. As significant as each of these guest turns is, however, they can't overshadow Mayall's own spirited vocals, iconic harmonica and lyrical keyboard work on The Sun is Shining Down. \"John shines throughout this album, exuding a joy and gratitude that are infectious. We all want to give that back to him,\" adds Producer Eric Corne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"ROCK \u0026 ROLL HALL OF FAME RECORD STORE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44029293297833,"sku":"43100-R","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/5982\/5577\/files\/4015247-2754606.jpg?v=1762443579"},{"product_id":"john-mayall-bluesbreakers-with-eric-clapton-vinyl-lp","title":"JOHN MAYALL - BLUESBREAKERS WITH ERIC CLAPTON - VINYL LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e This seminal British blues album gave Clapton the chance to finally show his chops, not surprisingly, launching Clapton into stardom.
