4.0 out of 5 stars brittish blues of john mayall school, September 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: To Mum From Aynsley & The Boys (Audio CD)

This is one of my old favorites! The lyrics are not the best part of it (looks like mr. Dunbar or whoever wrote the lyrics was pissed with his girlfriend), but the music effort is very good. Borrowed introduction from JS Bach's Fantasia is totally unexpected, but fits right into the blues. Victor Brox's voice (he later sang Caiafas on JC Superstar 2LP with Ian Gillan) is one of the few low voices found in pop music, and though he is not doing much singing here, at least, this is Brittish blues with somebody who has voice (heh, heh). Somewhat monotonous toward the end, but overall very interesting.

By A Customer

This review is from: To Mum From Aynsley & The Boys (Audio CD)

JAZZ/BLUES HAS NEVER BEEN MORE FUNKY, PAINFUL AND WELL PLAYED THAN ON THIS RECORDING. THE BAND IS IN TOP SHAPE AND IN ADDITION WITH JOHN MAYALL PRODUCING, THE RESULT IS PURE MAGIC.

Aynsley Dunbar's Retaliation was an incredible band that set many standards for the British Blues movement. Aynsley went on to play with Frank Zappa, Journey, Jefferson Starship, Jeff Beck, David Bowie and many others, recording over 300 albums. This is one of his earliest efforts, and best.
