| | Mayall's best-known song in Australia remains Room To Move, taken from the 1970 album The Turning Point, which was the theme for a much-loved ABC radio program in the 70's. | | | While Mayall's career stalled in the 70's, it was rejuvenated in the 80's with a Bluesbreakers reunion, albums on major labels and a determination by the blues man to continue to record and tour. | | | In fact, having had Eric Clapton pass through the Bluesbreakers, Mayall later recruited the sixteen-year-old unknown guitarist Mick Taylor, who was to join the Stones and play on some of their classic albums from the late 1960's to mid-70's. |

| | Mayall recorded his debut single in early 1964; he made his first album, a live affair, near the end of the year. | | | From that point on, in fact, Mayall became one of the first rock musicians to depend primarily upon the LP market; he recorded plenty of singles throughout the '60s, but none of them came close to becoming a hit. | | | Some of these experiments (with jazz-rock and an album on which he played all the instruments except drums) were forgettable; others, like his foray into acoustic music in the late '60s, were quite successful. |

| | The History of Rock Music. John Mayall: biography, discography, reviews, links |
| | Mayall has created more music than any other bluesman and is the only musician who has tried, albeit irregularly, and managed fusion with both rock and jazz. | | | Mayall named his next album for the concept he was pursuing: Jazz-Blues Fusion (Polydor, 1972) but his vision was perhaps too ambitious for his composing limits, although the record does provide some suggestive hints for others to follow. | | | Mayall reconstituted the Bluesbreakers for Behind The Iron Curtain (GNP, 1985), recorded in Hungary, and for his first studio album in the longest time, Chicago Line (Island, 1988), followed by A Sense of Place (Island, 1990), Wake Up Call (Silvertone, 1993), and Blues For The Lost Days (Silvertone, 1997). |

| | MetroActive Music John Mayall |
| | By 1963, at the age of 30, Mayall was no longer able to resist a life devoted to the music that first inspired him; he moved to London, cut his first solo album, and shortly thereafter started a new band: the Bluesbreakers. | | | The sole Mayall reference in the Stone piece is the inclusion of the classic 1966 record Bluesbreakers--John Mayall with Eric Clapton, the album that launched Clapton's career yet was great mainly because of Mayall's magnificently soulful feel for the medium and his sly, non- conformist style of blues songwriting. | | | Case in point: John Mayall--the revered blues innovator and legendary progenitor of the white-boy British blues--whose band, the Bluesbreakers, has at one time or another contained such names as Mick Fleetwood, Mick Taylor, Peter Green, John McVie, Coco Montoya, and Eric Clapton. |
