Album Notes & Community Reviews

Replacing Eric Clapton with a young Peter Green, John Mayall shifts the focus of his Bluesbreakers toward a leaner, more atmospheric style of Chicago blues. Green's fluid, sustained guitar phrasing becomes the central focal point of the record, contrasting with Mayall's traditional organ and harmonica work.
