John Mayall Live From Austin Tx

Live archive release from the British Blues legend. This release features Mayall in a hard-driving, sharp set of original and classic numbers captured live on tour in 1988. This concert serves to remind us of the genius with which this pioneering artist almost single-handedly revived the Blues, and how he has made them his own over a phenomenal career in music. Featuring the paired lead guitars of Walter Trout and Coco Montoya, the band rocks hard in a tight groove that enables searing solos from the featured guitarists as well as from Mayall himself on guitar and keyboards. The guttural power of Mayall's vocals is ever-present. And the songs - most of them Mayall originals - include the classic Room To Move, with which John Mayall once electrified the world of Rock 'n' Roll.

British blues legend John Mayall lights up Texas in this 1993 performance from "Austin City Limits." Mixing blues, jazz, rock and gospel, Mayall and his band, the Bluesbreakers, pack in a range of original and cover tunes in this smokin' show. The track list includes "I Want to Go" and "I'm a Sucker for Love," along with searing renditions of Junior Wells's classic "I Could Cry" and Jimmy Reed's "Ain't That Lovin' You Baby?"
