About this listen

John Mayall has played with them all: Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Jack Bruce, Mick Fleetwood, Mick Taylor, Andy Fraser, and the list goes on. Now in his 80s, John continues to tour all over the world and perform to sold-out crowds. With an incredible blues career spanning over 50 years, rightly earning him the title the "Godfather of British Blues", John shares his experiences and encounters in what will be a must-listen autobiography for any true blues fans.

Very enjoyable and informative.

I also really liked the narration.

John Mayall comes across as a true gent and doesn't really dish the dirt on anybody.

Eager to have the follow up

A blues purist throughout his career. Great book and I’m sure has many stories to tell that weren’t necessarily elaborated on here. Bring on volume ll

interesting story...but found the narrator to be lacking anything resembling the blues...far too posh and well heeled.Big Disappointment That John (or Gary ) didn't lend their gruff vocals to underscore this important legacy.
