JOHN MAYALL ~ THE BLUES ALONE (EXPANDED EDITION) DECCA 984180 (Barcode: 602498418055) ~ UK ~ Blues Recorded: 1967Released: 2006 5th album by John MayallFind albums by this artist, although it was in fact recorded shortly before CrusadeFind albums with this title (the 4th album) but released later on the DeccaFind albums on this label budget label Ace Of ClubsFind albums on this label. Mayall takes the ever so bold step here to face the music (or rather make it) alone, as well as supplying all the compositions. He sings and plays all the instruments and only some drum tracks are courtesy of Keef HartleyFind albums by this artist. His performance is as brilliant as ever, creating a unique document of the era. Mayall always wanted to record a solo album, but the confusion facing his band after his second lead guitarist left the band following the recording of only one album pushed him to make the album rather sooner that later. Regardless of the circumstances, Mayall manages to create another masterpiece, which is every bit as relevant as it was at the time of the recording. Wholeheartedly recommended!
