Description
John Mayall, ‘The Godfather of British Blues,’ is back with his newest album, Nobody Told Me. The legendary bluesman is accompanied by an impressive list of guest guitarists, including Joe Bonamassa, Alex Lifeson, Todd Rundgren, Carolyn Wonderland, Larry McCray and Steven Van Zandt, and the results are nothing short of spectacular. The album was recorded at The Foo Fighters’ Studio 606 on the same legendary Sound City Neve console his one-time protégés from Fleetwood Mac used to record parts of the best-selling Rumours album.
Mayall still runs a tight ship. His band is crisp — especially bassist Greg Rzab who drives a lot of the songs, providing a solid foundation both for the guest guitarists and for Mayall’s piano and organ. And Mayall’s voice sounds amazing. In 2019, Mayall still has the chops and the ear for talent, and Nobody Told Me is another unquestionable success for the revered bandleader and blues master. “This project has been a true labor of love for me and I can’t wait for people to hear the fireworks that took place,” beams Mayall.
