John Mayall A Special Life 160g 2LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;160g Double Vinyl from Legendary & quot;Godfather of British Blues! & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Forty Below Records announces the signing of the legendary Godfather of British Blues, John Mayall, and his first studio album in five years, A Special Life. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The album was recorded in November, 2013, at Entourage Studios in North Hollywood and was produced by Mayall, with co-production, engineering and mixing by Eric Corne. A Special Life also boasts original cover art and design created by John Mayall. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Backing Mayall on the album are Texas guitarist Rocky Athas and a Chicago-based rhythm section of Greg Rzab on bass and Jay Davenport on drums. The current band lineup came together for his last studio album, Tough, and has developed an amazing chemistry over the years through consistent touring both in the U.S. and around the world. Athas came on the recommendation of Mayall's former guitarist Buddy Whittington, and quickly asserted himself as a major force in the band. After Rzab came onboard to play bass, he recommended Davenport for the drum spot and the group was complete. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Since 2009, the new, leaner four-piece lineup has given John more room to stretch out as an instrumentalist. After being invited to do a guest spot on Walter Trouts latest album, John met engineer/producer Eric Corne. John was so impressed that he asked Eric to record his new album. Greg, Jay and Rocky flew in for the sessions which took less than a week to record and the end result is one of John's best albums ever, with its deep devotion to blues and roots music. Accordion legend C.J. Chenier makes a powerhouse guest appearance on a couple of tracks, including the opener, Why Did You Go Last Night, written and previously recorded by his father, Zydeco icon Clifton Chenier. A Special Life also includes three new songs penned by John and a reworked Mayall classic to go along with covers of Jimmy Rogers (Thats All Right), Albert King (Floodin in California), Sonny Landreth (Speak of the Devil), Jimmy McCracklin (I Just Got to Know) and Eddie Taylor (Big Town Playboy), plus a new song written by Greg Rzab and Rocky Athas. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Double LP & lt;br & gt; 160g Vinyl & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; John Mayall, vocals, harmonica, guitar, organ, pianos & lt;br & gt; Rocky Athas, guitar & lt;br & gt; Greg Rzab, bass guitar, percussion & lt;br & gt; Jay Davenport, drums & lt;br & gt; C.J.

In 2013, John signed with producer Eric Corne's label, Forty Below Records and has since been experiencing a true artistic and career renaissance. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; This revival continues with the release of a brilliant studio album titled, & quot;Find A Way To Care & quot;, produced by John and Eric and recorded at the famed House of Blues Studios in Encino, California. About the album, Corne says, & lt;b & gt; & quot;I really wanted to feature John's keyboard playing on this record. He's truly one of the most lyrical, economical and under rated keyboardists around. We also wanted to change things up a bit after the success of & quot;A Special Life & quot; and the addition of a horn section on several tracks was a really fun way to do that. As good as the last record was, I think this one is even better. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; John adds harmonica on two songs as well as a classic guitar track reminiscent of Hubert Sumlin or Muddy Waters on the latter's legendary & quot;Long Distance Call & quot;. He is joined by his killer touring band, Rocky Athas (guitar), Greg Rzab (bass) and Jay Davenport (drums). & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The even-dozen tracks on Find a Way to Care include a scintillating group of new songs and savvy covers of Mother in Law Blues (Don Robey), The Rivers Invitation (Percy Mayfield), I Feel So Bad (Lightnin Hopkins), Long Distance Call (Muddy Waters), I Want All My Money Back (Lee Baker) and Drifting Blues (Charles Brown). & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;a name= & quot;SS & quot; & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;iframe width= & quot;560 & quot; height= & quot;315 & quot; src= & quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/E-jwpvB4OY0 & quot; frameborder= & quot;0 & quot; allowfullscreen & gt; & lt;/iframe & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; John Mayall, vocals, piano, organ, wurlitzer, clavinet, guitar, harmonica & lt;br & gt; Rocky Athas, guitar & lt;br & gt; Greg Rzab, bass & lt;br & gt; Jay Davenport, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers Live in 1967 Volume Two LP (Vinyl)

The four musicians were only together for three months, which makes it even more remarkable that a staunch fan from Holland was able to sneak a one channel reel to reel tape recorder into five London clubs and capture this exciting glimpse into music history. For almost fifty years these tapes have remained unheard until John recently got them and began restoring them with the technical assistance of Eric Corne of Forty Below Records. Corne adds While the source recording was very rough and the final result is certainly not hi-fidelity, it does succeed in allowing us to hear how spectacular these performances are. & quot; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; John Mayall & lt;br & gt; John McVie & lt;br & gt; Peter Green & lt;br & gt; Mick Fleetwood & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;New Album From The Blues Legend On Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt;
Featuring Mike Campbell, Marcus King, Buddy Miller, Melvin Taylor & amp; More!
& lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;p & gt;On his latest album, The Sun is Shining Down, 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. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;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. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt; & quot; & lt;strong & gt;I couldn't be happier with the new record, & lt;/strong & gt; & quot; raves Mayall. & quot; & lt;strong & gt;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. & lt;/strong & gt; & quot; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;The album explores a range of styles and eclectic instruments. Scarlet Rivera's violin beautifully compliments two Mayall originals, the timely & quot;Got to Find a Better Way & quot; and a spirited reboot of the Mayall classic & quot;Deep Blue Sea & quot;. Mike Campbell sounds
like a natural born Bluesbreaker on the funky Bernard Allison cut & quot;Chills and Thrills & quot; and Marcus King sizzles throughout the soulful & quot;Can't Take No More, & quot; another Mayall original. Buddy Miller's baritone tremolo guitar adds a unique and memorable flair
to the Bobby Rush composition & quot;I'm as Good as Gone & quot;, while Jake Shimabukuro's electric ukulele is nothing short of astonishing on & quot;One Special Lady & quot;. Melvin Taylor proves why he's been wowing Chicago blues audiences for decades on & quot;Hungry and Ready & quot;
and & quot;Driving Wheel & quot; and Carolyn Wonderland brilliantly concludes the record with a sensitive moving performance on the title track. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;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. & quot;John shines throughout this album, exuding a joy and gratitude that are
infectious. We all want to give that back to him, & quot; adds producer Eric Corne. & lt;/p & gt;
