Ten Years Are Gone
Product ID: 22536014
Two CD release, a reissue of the long unavailable album from the British Blues icon, originally released in 1973. Ten Years Are Gone was recorded at Sunset Sound, Los Angeles and, like its predecessors Jazz Blues Fusion and Moving On, it featured Freddy Robinson on guitar and Blue Mitchell on trumpet. For the first time on CD, this sought after John Mayall album is available, endorsed a by John himself, who has contributed a new interview for the notes. 14 tracks. Lemon. Review: ROOTS Music done right - This is the album that I play when I am attempting to give my nephews and nieces an understanding of the 70's music. This is such a good album that it would definitely be on that proverbial island with me. John Mayall was the root for Clapton, Page, Beck, et. al. The youngsters used to just shake their heads, but here lately, they are saying that they sort of understand the lineage of some of the music they are listening to today. Review: One of the greatest - One of the greatest white blues guys ever. John Mayall and Johnny Winter: better than any one else. Enjoy the violin of Don Sugarcane Harris on this album: wonderful stuff, one of the best things I've ever heard in the blues. Great sound. I am not so fond of electric or white blues, prefer the accoustic black stuff, but I adore John and Johnny. A must have.

ROOTS Music done right
This is the album that I play when I am attempting to give my nephews and nieces an understanding of the 70's music. This is such a good album that it would definitely be on that proverbial island with me. John Mayall was the root for Clapton, Page, Beck, et. al. The youngsters used to just shake their heads, but here lately, they are saying that they sort of understand the lineage of some of the music they are listening to today.

One of the greatest white blues guys ever. John Mayall and Johnny Winter: better than any one else. Enjoy the violin of Don Sugarcane Harris on this album: wonderful stuff, one of the best things I've ever heard in the blues. Great sound. I am not so fond of electric or white blues, prefer the accoustic black stuff, but I adore John and Johnny. A must have.

Uneven offering from Mayall
Overall, this is not a bad set, but it suffers primarily from its live half (disc 2). While there are moments of interest in the live recordings, they are for the most part boring. The studio disc is what makes this collection worthwhile. Mayall once again rounded up some top notch musicians; among them, Freddie Robinson and Sugarcane Harris. They shine on this. My favorite track by far is "Good Looking Stranger" which the liner notes explains was the result of a drunk Mayall. This "drunken" take was so enjoyable that the "proper" vocal take never saw the light of day (as indicated by Mayall himself in the liner notes). If you're a Mayall completist like me then you'll want this. Otherwise, if you're just a causal Mayall fan, go with one of the many compilations out there.

I had this album in the 70's when I was in my teens. I haven't reaquired all the music I had in those days, but this is a keeper, it grew on me. Some say it's uneven, I don't agree, It's all good casual jammin' to me.

Un doppio CD tutto da godere nella perfetta tradizione di uno dei migliori periodi di JM. Lungo la scia di Jazz Blues Fusion e Moving on, questo doppio CD presenta delle esecuzioni straordinarie in cui solisti come Blue Mitchell (tromba), Freddy Robinson (chitarra), Keff Hartley (batteria), Victor Gaskin (contrabbasso), Sugarcane Harris (violino elettrico), Red Holloway Sax tenore, alto e flauto) e lo stesso JM danno il massimo di se stessi. Il primo CD in studio vede pezzi in cui gli assoli spiccano per la loro vivace esecuzione, oltre alla performance leggermente sotto l'effetto dell'alcool da parte di JM in Good Looking Stranger!. Il secondo dal vivo alla Academy of Music con la lunga Dark of the Night in cui Keff Hartley stupisce con il stile inconfondibile davvero accattivante. Inutile dire che JM e' grandioso in ogni pezzo anche con assoli all'armonica davvero indimenticabili. Un doppio CD in cui JM svolta pagina stilistica appoggiandosi a strumentisti straordinari.
