Description

Blues legend John Mayall teams up with an all-star cast for his newest album, The Sun Is Shining Down. This soulful, funky release is flush with brass, violins, harmonica, electric ukulele and the inimitable stamp of the Godfather of the British Blues himself. Having chosen stellar guitarists along with his longtime Chicago rhythm section, Mayall might have outdone himself with The Sun Is Shining Down.

Mayall is the purveyor of superb musicians, guitar players in particular. You’ll find nothing less on The Sun Is Shining Down including guests The Heartbreakers’ Mike Campbell, roots rock guitarist Marcus King, Americana luminary Buddy Miller, violinist Scarlet Rivera of Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Review, Chicago blues guitarist Melvin Taylor and Hawaiian electric ukulele star Jake Shimabukuro. Also joining in is Mayall’s longtime Chicago rhythm section of Greg Rzab on bass guitar, Jay Davenport on drums and the gifted Carolyn Wonderland on guitar.

From beginning to end The Sun Is Shining Down is a blast of fresh blues performed by John Mayall and the group he put together. It’s a stunning example of exemplary musicianship and obvious chemistry between all involved. Each of the catchy blues tunes have their own singular groove, funky and fun, with ample room for each musician to spread out.
