John Mayall- A BIG MAN- CD- 1981/2006- Silver Star Records/ZYX Music GmbH & Co. KG- 090204685936- 400 grn
2006 digitally remastered edition. This is a European repackaging of the 1981 disc Road Show Blues. What another reissue?!? Yes, but if you don't have Road Show Blues, The Adventures Of John Mayall, or Lost And Gone you should really pick this one up. Recorded in mid-1980 in LA, this disc shows Mayall at his best. He and his backing band had already played hundreds of shows in the past touring year, and they form a remarkably tight unit. Originally Released in 1981 a.k.a. Road Show Blues, this beautifully packaged album was recorded in July 1980 in California and includes sleeve notes written by Michael Heatley, editor of Record Buyer. The compilation LOST AND GONE is a retitled reissue of John Mayall's 1981 album Road Show Blues, originally released by DJM Records in the U.K. Road Show Blues was John Mayall's third album for the U.K.'s DJM Records, following Bottom Line and No More Interviews. At this time, Mayall's backup band included guitarist/singer James Quill Smith, bassist Kevin McCormick, drummer Soko Richardson, and singer Maggie Parker. Two cuts, Jimmy Reed's "Baby, What You Want Me To Do" and Mayall's "Mexico City," were recorded live. The band is a tight unit in support of the leader, who sings and plays fiercely. By the time that this album, the third and last in Mayall's DJM contract, was recorded, his career was in decline, and the disc was not released in the U.S. at the time. It would be another five years before he made another. Through some corporate legerdemain, the record has bounced around from one company to another and been reissued several times. In addition to this one, there are Road Show and The Adventures Of John Mayall. Of course, the Mayall fan needs only one, but it does make a worthy addition to the catalog. John Mayall’s greatest legacy other than the opportunity he gave to future rock and blues guitar legends to blossom was that whilst establishing himself as one of the architects of the British blues boom of the late 60’s he was often the introduction to the blues for many teenage muso. This 1980 studio album was another slight reinvention of himself. Never afraid to change his musical direction, innovate and shuffle his famous Bluesbreakers with new musicians he also ventured into producing solo albums of which this – Road Show Blues (1981) – was John Mayall’s third album for the U.K.’s DJM Records, following Bottom Line (1979) and No More Interviews (1980). Guitarist and singer James Quill Smith, bassist Kevin McCormick, drummer Soko Richardson, and singer Maggie Parker were his backing band on this occasion. This solid outfit accompanied him in the studio and live and indeed two of the tracks Jimmy Reed’s ''Baby, What You Want Me To Do'' and Mayall’s ''Mexico City'', were recorded live. Although it maintains the flavour and freshness of the blues boom sound it also shows how John Mayall himself had matured as player, singer and bandleader. This awesome set of tracks is now issued with revamped artwork featuring vintage photos in a CD case. John Mayall deserves to still be revered and honoured as one of our best bluesmen and this album can re-ignite his popularity amongst younger blues fans. Although some 60’s blues material can sound dated this album does not and still over 40 years on has a fresh, exciting sound. Altogether a good CD to have.
