It's the only one I own (purely for Clapton). Never could stand Mayall's singing. If Mayall could sing (and write better lyrics) he would have been a huge star. With that said, try giving "Ten Years are Gone" a listen. His singing is quite decent and fits the material really well. It's why it's still one of my favorite albums. It was recorded during his Jazz Blues Fusion period and the band is fantastic: Blue Mitchell, Sugarcane Harris, Red Holloway among others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Lots of pics showing him playing guitar; I never saw him playing that - only keyboards (probably a Hammond). Was quite a regular at the Whiskey A Go Go (later the Crazy E) corner of Navigation Street in the 60's. I used to practice to what I THINK was his first LP "Live at Klooks Kleek" - or summat like that. Wonder if he was disappointed that former members of his band achieved more fame that he did; a bit like the late Graham Bond apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted August 1 VT Supporter Share Posted August 1 RIP. I knew he was being treated for cancer but surprised he hadn't beat it. I only recently found out he's distantly a friend of a friend. Well, was I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
