From 1965 until now, he has released somewhere in the ballpark of 30 albums, and doesn't seem to be showing any signs of slowing down. Got a taste for the blues? Who wouldn't after seeing this majestic legend in action? Hell if I died tomorrow I would probably want to have a John Mayall performance at my funeral. -A.I. The Phoenix...
