THE GODFATHER: John Mayall in 2004 [Perole]

JOHN MAYALL, the “Godfather of the British Blues,” eased up on touring last year on doctor’s orders.

Now fit and healthy, Mayall has recently announced another tour and new album.

This comes as no surprise to his many fans. He always had drive and a singular vision and he was always recording, touring and looking for new line-ups for his bands.
