John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers - A Hard Road (1967)
A Hard Road is a 1967 Electric Blues album recorded by John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers featuring Peter Green on lead guitar, John McVie on bass, Aynsley Dunbar on drums and John Almond. Tracks 5, 7 and 13 feature the horn section of Alan Skidmore and Ray Warleigh. Peter Green sings lead vocals on "You Don't Love Me" and "The Same Way." The notable instrumental track "The Supernatural", a guitar improvisation in the key of D minor, has much in common with Peter Green's later hit composition Black Magic Woman. The cover art and the original LP sleeve design are by John Mayall.
Sebuah album yang membuat kita menyadari betapa brilliantnya lagu The Supernatural yang mencakup beberapa genre...Rock, R&B, Blues dan bahkan Jazz.

John Mayall - Looking Back (1969)
Album kompilasi dari beberapa singel 45 dari John Mayall's Bluesbreakers yang direkam antara April 1964 hingga December 1969. Yang menarik dari album ini lagu-lagu tersebut diambil dari rekaman berbagai band dari John Mayall. Disini kita bisa menyimak evolusi musik John Mayall seiring dengan seringnya pergantian personil bandnya.
John Mayall covers a lot of older material in both his live shows and studio recordings. And when he isn't covering older tunes, he is writing similar style tunes. This re-issue doesn't list the author of the songs, but I recognize at least one as being a cover tune (Stormy Monday).
Check out track 3, Stormy Monday to see what Eric Clapton was doing between his time with The Yardbirds, and Cream. Check out track 7 It Hurts Me Too and track 8 Double Trouble to see where Fleetwood Mac would shortly be going. Check out track 9 Suspicions (part two) to see what Mick Taylor was doing before he joined the Rolling Stones. Better yet, check out some of the complete albums they worked on for a better idea of what these and other musicians were doing in their early years.
Track list:
1. Mr. James
2. Blues City Shakedown
3. Stormy Monday
4. So Many Roads
5. Looking Back
6. Sitting In The Rain
7. It Hurts Me Too
8. Double Trouble
9. Suspicions (part two)
10. Jenny
11. Picture On The Wall
