John Mayall: The First Generation 1965-1974
by Maurizio Comandini
Se gli inglesi hanno soprannominato The Godfather of the British Blues" l'imperturbabile John Mayall una ragione ci sarà... La malavita non c'entra nulla, per fortuna, ma c'entra tantissimo la buona musica e la capacità di organizzarla partendo da zero, o quasi. John Mayall è nato a Macclesfield, il 29 novembre del 1933. Siamo nello Cheshire, meno di trenta chilometri a sud di Manchester. Il padre è un chitarrista dilettante, appassionato di jazz e di blues e ...

by Doug Collette
Generally speaking, revelations abound within the various installments of The Bootleg Series, Bob Dylan's ongoing archive initiative, and Volume 16 is no exception. But in listening to Springtime in New York, 1980- 1985, the epiphanies come in slow bursts, flashing over the course of the five CDs to generate a cumulative momentum that reaches a flash-point with the content taken from the much-maligned Empire Burlesque (Columbia, 1985). And that outcome in itself is a truly Dylanesque curve ball: pre-release anticipation ...

read moreMick Taylor: A Stone's Throw
by Ed Kopp
I’m surprised Mick Taylor chose to dredge up his past when he named this new CD A Stone's Throw. Taylor has long downplayed his time with the Rolling Stones, despite contributing to some of the band’s finest albums ( Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street ).In truth, A Stone’s Throw has little in common with the Rolling Stones aside from its blues footing. It’s more like a substandard Nick Lowe album, but with great guitar playing.
Taylor has ...

BLUESBREAKER & EX-ROLLING STONES AXE MAN TURNS 60 TODAY
While his tenure with The Rolling Stones lasted only five years, Mick Taylor sure made an impression. His fluid, dirty pretty style remains many fans all-time favorite guitar voice (outside of dear ol' Keith's madly brilliant plinking) in the band, and despite decades with Ron Wood filling his shoes there's just no shaking the impact - on the Stones and rock 'n' roll in general - Taylor made in his brief ...
