About this album

John Mayall Plays John Mayall is a fine early statement from one of British blues’ key architects. Issued in 1965, it finds Mayall consolidating the hard-edged, rhythm and blues-inflected style that would soon make the Bluesbreakers so influential. The album highlights his versatility as a singer, organist, pianist and harmonica player, moving between driving blues numbers and more rootsy, country-blues material with authority. It captures the moment when British musicians were absorbing American blues and turning it into something leaner and more personal, helping establish Mayall as a major force in the scene.
