John Mayall:

Turning Point:(1969)

Empty Rooms:(1969)

USA Union:(1970)

Back To The Roots:(1971)

John Mayall's body of work is interesting. On one hand, he's a Blues revivalist of the highest 1960's order. On the other, he's an inventive artist fusing a deep English Folk Pop sensibility with traditional American Rhythm & Blues and Rock'n'Roll. 

I saw John Mayall perform in Grand Junction, CO, in about 1996. It rained really hard that night, and the roof of the old theatre started leaking. A pool of water formed onstage right by one of the amps. It did not deter anyone performing. Was a great show. 

Of these albums, Empty Rooms might be my favorite. Since I was a kid, and first heard this record, Thinking of My Woman has intrigued me.
