John Mayall interview



John Mayall is 80 years old and still going strong. With over 60 albums under his belt the British blues legend has just released his latest, A Special Life, on Forty Below Records.
CKUA's Holger Petersen caught up with the Godfather of the British Blues at his home in Los Angeles to revisit his now classic release, Blues Breakers (1966). The album, often called Beano after the British comic Eric Clapton is reading on the cover, marked the first collaboration between Mayall and Clapton and the beginning of a celebrated musical career.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
