John Mayall - Back To The Roots

Review by Vittorio Addesso

The album Back To The Roots by John Mayall is a true masterpiece that showcases the blues legend's immense talent and skill. The album features a blend of original tracks and classic covers, all of which are expertly performed by Mayall and his band.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Sitting in the Rain," a slow and soulful blues ballad that perfectly captures the raw emotion and power of the genre. Another highlight is the cover of "I Can't Quit You Baby," which features Mayall's signature guitar work and powerful vocals.

The album also includes several instrumental tracks, which allow Mayall and his band to showcase their impressive musicianship and improvisational skills. The title track, "Back To The Roots," is a particularly impressive example of this, with its intricate guitar work and dynamic rhythm section.

Perhaps Mayall's best album and, in my view, musically magnificent yet somewhat overlooked as an album. Captures the period sublimely and superbly recorded. .....Oh and the guitars of Mick Taylor, Harvey Mandel and Eric Clapton, violin and flute, bass with Larry Taylor and Steve Thompson, and the excellent drumming of Keef Hartley, Paul Lagos and Joe Yuele.........totally superb!
