Editorial Reviews

Product Description

"Road Dogs" is the first studio release from John Mayall & The Bluesbreaker’s since 2002’s "Stories". With 71 minutes of Mayall’s sturdy blues rock, the album’s 15 tracks cover a wide variety of ground, from the slow, deliberate pace of "Road Dogs" to the shuffle of "Burned Bridges" to the laid back "Beyond Control".

John Mayall’s career in the blues spans over 40 years. During that time he has been cited as a major influence by the likes of Eric Clapton, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Peter Green. He has released over 50 albums in his career.

Lineup John Mayall (vocals / piano / electric piano / harmonica / guitar / synthesizer) Joe Yuele (drums) Buddy Whittington (guitar) Hank Van Sickle (bass) Tom Canning (organ / piano)

4.0 out of 5 stars Still Crankin', August 15, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
John Mayall has issued yet another new album? It amazes me that he has so much music in him that he continues to put out one quality album after another. Out of all he's done, there are very few Mayall albums I consider unworthy of his talent.
Road Dogs continues the long string of worthwhile albums that began when Mayall brought Coco Montoya and Buddy Whittington into the band nearly two decades ago after he suffered a patch of mid-career burnout by issuing a couple of uninspired records. Chicago Line revitalized his muse and he's been going strong ever since. Montoya has since gone out on his own, but Whittington more than makes up for his absence.
Mayall has a tendency to revisit favorite themes such as how the blues have affected his life, personal issues, and social ills yet he continues to exhibit a bouyant optimism in most of his lyrics.
On Road Dogs, he manages to cover all his favorite bases once again. My favorites here are the title cut, So Glad, Snake Eye, Beyond Control, Chaos In The Neighborhood, You'll Survive, With You, the instrumental Brumwell's Beat, and Scrambling. Mayall's voice, an acquired taste for some, is the same as ever, and the band's line-up gives musical force to Mayall's continued strong songwriting skills.
Throughout his career, Mayall's bands have showcased and nurtured up and coming young musicians, a huge number of whom have gone onto substantial popularity after graduating from Mayall's "school". The latest talent featured by Mayall is the very young Eric Steckel who plays a mean and fiery lead on the hard-hitting Chaos In the Neighborhood. He sounds great and I hope Mayall uses him again.
Long-time Mayall fans will be pleased to find the grand old man of British blues still crankin'. Though Road Dogs is not his best album, it is of a quality that will give it heavy rotation in my CD player both at home and on the road. Add it to your CD collection today.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff, June 18, 2005
There are several very nice tunes on Road Dogs- 40 Days, Kona Village and You'll Survive among them. The instrumental Brumwell's Beat is as good as anything the Bluesbreakers have ever done. The CD may be a little message heavy at the expense of allowing the band to jam a little more. Make your own decision.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buddy Whittington, June 16, 2005
By Mr. Joe Budde (Wellsboro, Pa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I would have bought this anyway, I have everything John Mayall released. I became a fan of Buddy Whittington after seeing and hearing the 70th birthday DVD and CD. I am not at all dissapointed with this. I have been playing guitar for 40 years and Buddy is just what I always wanted to do with the guitar. Nothing too flashy, just brilliant craftsmanship; I'm not sure weather to be encouraged or disscouraged by him. The rest of the CD is great too, I guess a harp or keyboard player would feel the same.(I am over 13).
