Back Cover Text »

John Mayall will forever be associated with a moment in the history of British rock music which produced three of the finest guitarists of our time: Eric Clapton, Peter Green and Mick Taylor. But while they may subsequently have eclipsed Mayall's fame, they have never surpassed his influence. In John Mayall: Blues Breaker, broadcaster and journalist Richard Newman looks back at Mayall's life and career during the early years of the London blues scene and assesses his musical contribution: a contribution which ironically was to popularise the music of some of the greatest American blues musicians. A celebration of these achievements, John Mayall: Blues Breaker offers a unique insight into the development of rock.
