JOHN MAYALL'S BLUES BREAKERS Crusade - 2011 remaster CD reissue of classic 1967 Blues album, faithfully restored
Format: CD Condition: New Year of Release: 2011 Cat. No.: 06275 Label: Sundazed Records
1967's 'Crusade' finds John Mayall welcoming another soon-to-be-famous young guitarist--18-year-old fretboard phenom Mick Taylor, who would soon become a key member of the Rolling Stones--to the Bluesbreakers fold.
With John McVie on bass and Hughie Flint and Keef Hartley sharing drumming duties, Mayall tackles an adventurous 12-song set that encompasses several Mayall originals and Taylor's instrumental showcase "Snowy Wood," as well as numbers by such notables as Willie Dixon, Eddie Kirkland and Sonny Boy Williamson.
Regarded by many fans as the final third of the influential electric-blues trilogy that began with 'Blues Breakers' and 'A Hard Road', 'Crusade' followed its predecessors into the British Top Ten, while continuing to open young American ears to the timeless power of the blues.
From the pristine U.K. mono masters, with complete original artwork and photos.
