Where is John Mayall?,
By Plotfather (Los Angeles, Ca, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: John Mayall: Blues Breaker (Paperback)
This book purports to be a biography of the father of the British blues John Mayall. Mayall is introduced after about the first hundred pages and even then there is scant reference to any personal data about the man, his early influences and everything one would expect in a biography. The author focuses more on the evolving British blues scenes and Mayall's proteges (Clapton, Green) then he does on Mayall. I suspected that the author never talked to Mayall and this was confirmed when I asked Mayall after one of his recent shows to sign the book. He graciously declined, stating that the book was unauthorized and the author never interviewed him. Mayall also said he would be penning his autobiography so pass up this turkey and wait for the real McCoy.
