Acoustic blues from the late 60s. For those of you who dont know who John Mayall is.. well.. without him there would be no Eric Clapton, no Jeff Beck and no Jimmy Page. They all played guitar in his (Mayall's) band at one point or another, but I digress. This is an interesting album because uhh it comes immediately after the blues revival in England, which was pretty electric and departed from most jazzy roots, but this album is pretty much the opposite. Its acoustic, has no drums and almost feels like delta blues at times. Some classic tracks on here though, so definitely worth checking out.
