John Mayall: Essentially John Mayall
by Doug Collette
Essentially John Mayall, a five-CD box set, is not mere nostalgia. Rather, like most anthologies devoted to the Father of British Blues, it supplies a historically accurate focus on his career by setting his most recent work in relief against earlier recordings. In doing so it reaffirms his virtues as bandleader, composer, musician and talent scout. ...

John Mayall: The Turning Point
by Mike Neely
