- Summary:
- Multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and producer, it's hard to find an artist as versatile and most of all durable as the critically acclaimed 'Godfather of Blues'. At 88 years old, and still very much active to this day, John Mayall's achievements puts all of us to shame. It only took a small trip to Japan during military service for him to pick up his first electric guitar; the rest is history. The original blues breaker came to be in 1956, and nothing has been able to stop him since. His sales numbers rival those of Iggy Pop, Buddy Guy, or even new blood like Jake Bugg, which earned him two golden records (on The Turning Point and Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton), as well as a nomination for the Grammys in 1994. Known for having an eye for talent, and incredible collaborators, it was not surprising to notice that the Bluesbreakers' big comeback included future stars like Walter Trout and Coco Montoya. During this 1987 performance at Iowa State University, John introduces his revamped blues ensemble to a new generation of fans, and puts the world on full notice: John Mayall is here to stay, and still rocks as well as ever!
