Blues From Laurel Canyon: London Records PS-545
London UK
John Mayall: Keys, vocals
Mick Taylor: guitar
Stephen Thompson: bass
Colin Allen: drums
Produced by John Mayall, 1968

John Mayall, OBE (b. Nov 29, 1933 Macclesfield UK age 84)

Mayall’s first album after the dissolution of The Bluesbreakers. It features Mick Taylor just prior to joining the Rolling Stones. Mayall had a penchant for recruiting the brightest and the best young musicians into his Bluesbreakers. The list includes guitarists Eric Clapton, Peter Green and Mick Taylor; bass players John McVie and Jack Bruce; drummers Highie Flint, Mick Fleetwood, Aynsley Dunbar, Keef Hartley, Jon Hiseman and Colin Allen; sax player Dick Heckstall-Smith. Mayall is the godfather of the British Blues! Long may he reign!

2.   Fleetwood Mac: Doctor Brown (John Thomas Brown / Waymon Glasco)

London UK
Peter Green - guitar
Danny Kirwin: vocals, slide guitar

John McVie: bass
Steve Gregory: alto sax
Dave Howard: also sax
Johnny Almond: tenor sax
Roland Vaughan: tenor sax
Produced by Mike Vernon
Recorded by Mike Ross at CBS Studios, London UK, April 1968

Jeremy Cedric Spencer (b. Hartlepool, Durham UK July 4, 1948)

Spencer began playing in a trio called The Levi Set and was asked by Peter Green to play slide guitar in the fledgling Fleetwood Mac. Green had already recruited Mick Fleetwood and Bob Brunning (bass) so a second guitarist filled out the bill. Spencer was incredible playing slide in the style of Elmore James and piano phrasings of the old barrelhouse. He also perfected the vocal technique to go along with his playing. He left the band, mid-tour in the US in 1971 to join The Children of God cult.

J. T. Brown (b. Mississippi April 2, 1918 – d. November 24, 1969 Chicago)

Billed as Saxman Brown, he performed mostly in the Chicago area. Played and recorded with Elmore James and Howlin Wolf. He also recorded as a leader for several independent record labels, including JOB and United. He appeared on several tracks of Fleetwood Mac's 1969 album Fleetwood Mac in Chicago

3.   Johnny Winter: Bladie Mae (Johnny Winter)
Nothing But The Blues: Columbia
Beaumont, Texas
Johnny Winter - guitar, harmonica, drums, bass, vocals

Recorded by Grant Barlow at The Schoolhouse

John Dawson Winter III (b. Feb 23, 1944 Beaumont TX / d. July 16, 2014 Zurich, SW)

Released his first record, School Day Blues, with Johnny And The Jammers when he was 15. Made his first album, Progressive Blues Experiment, in 1968 which was released on a small Texan label called Sonobeat. They sold the rights to Imperial Records who re-released it in 1969 when Winter made it big with the release of his first album for Columbia earlier that year.

4.   Robert Johnson: Me And the Devil (Robert Johnson)
King of the Delta Blues Singers Vol 1&2: Blue Diamond CBS Records 22190
Hazelhurst, MS
Robert Johnson: guitar, vocal
Produced by Don Law
Recorded by Don Law June 20, 1937, The Vitagraph Building, Dallas Texas

Robert Leroy Johnson (b. May 8, 1911 near Hazelhurst MS / d. August 16, 1938 Greenwood MS aged 27)

Johnson reportedly recorded facing the wall, which has been cited as evidence he was a shy man and reserved performer. This conclusion was played up in the inaccurate liner notes of the 1961 release of King of the Delta Blues Singers. Ry Cooder speculates that Johnson played facing a corner to enhance the sound of the guitar, a technique he calls "corner loading".

This song, as are possibly all of the songs Johnson recorded, has become a blues standard, covered by no less than Peter Green Splinter Group, Cowboy Junkies, Eric Clapton, and The Doors.

Chicago IL
Otis Spann: Piano, vocal

Otis Spann (b. Mississippi, March 21 1924 or 1930 / d. April 24, 1970, Chicago)

By the age of 14, he was plaing in bands in the Jackson area (of Mississippi). He moved to Chicago in 1946 where he was mentorred by Big Maceo Merriweather whom he replaced as Muddy Waters’ pianist in 1952. He stayed with Waters until 1968, having worked on albums with Buddy Guy, Big Mama Thornton, Fleetwood Mac etc.

Headstone Inscription: “Otis played the deepest boues we ever heard - He’ll play forever in our hearts”.

He succumbed to liver cancer in 1970 and was posthumously elected to the Blues Hall of Fame in 1980.

BB King, Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf were the three reigning Monarchs of the Chicago Blues Scene after they migrated up there from The Delta after the second world war. All three would probably agree that their live performances were a lot more indicative of their playing than any of their studio recordings so here’s two live ones!

McKinley Morganfield (b. Stovall Plantation near Clarksdale, Mi April 4, 1913 – April 30, 1983 Chicago)
In August 1941, Alan Lomax went to Stovall, Mississippi, on behalf of the Library of Congress to record various country blues musicians. "He brought his stuff down and recorded me right in my house," Muddy recalled in Rolling Stone, "and when he played back the first song I sounded just like anybody's records. Man, you don't know how I felt that Saturday afternoon when I heard that voice and it was my own voice. Later on he sent me two copies of the pressing and a check for twenty bucks, and I carried that record up to the corner and put it on the jukebox. Just played it and played it and said, 'I can do it, I can do it.'"

Muddy migrated up to Chicago in 1943, bought his first electric guitar in 1944 and began recording commercially for the Chess Brothers Aristocrat label in ’47.

His solo career took a while to develop as his recordings all flopped. However, he started doing television which made him quite popular.

Michael Bernard Bloomfield (b. Chicago July 28, 1943 – d. San Francisco February 15, 1981)

While still in High School, Bloomfield put his first band together: The Hurricanes. He was expelled after his band performed a raucous rock and roll song at a 1959 school gathering. Bloomfield had attended a 1957 Chicago performance by blues singer Josh White, and began spending time in Chicago's South Side blues clubs and playing guitar with such black bluesmen as Sleepy John Estes, Yank Rachell,and Little Brother Montgomery. He first sat in with a black blues band in 1959, when he performed with Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson at a Chicago club called the Place. He performed with Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, and many other Chicago blues performers during the early 1960s. Michael used to say, 'It's a natural. Black people suffer externally in this country. Jewish people suffer internally. The suffering's the mutual fulcrum for the blues.'

In the 1960s he was asked to join the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. In 1965 he was asked to back up Bob Dylan on Highway 61 Revisited. He backed Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival that nearly ended in a riot. In 1967 he helped form a short lived but amazing band Electric Flag who performed at the Monterey Pop Festival. After this he went solo, recorded with Al Kooper on the seminal album Super Session. Then he got addicted to heroin and had to stop performing. He was found dead behind the wheel of his Mercedes, with all four doors locked after an apparent drug overdose in 1981.

That winter they moved to London, England where they were critically aclaimed. They signed to Liberty Records and recorded this, their infamous Stink album before returning home to Canada and breaking up.

I once played this song and was asked by Lena Connors, Stompin’ Tom’s wife, about it. She was shocked to learn that it was a guy singing, but being a Hank Williams fan, she found it to be a really cool rendition.

This is taken from a CBC Records double album: The Best of Touch The Earth, which was a folk radio show hosted by Sylvia Tyson. The album features a long list of performers, many of whom cut their teeth on this program. Included are a 15 year old Colin Linden as well as Willie P Bennett, fiddler Jean Carignan, Valdy, Ian Tamblyn, Figgy Duff, Margaret Christl, Stan Rogers and David Wiffen.
