Customer Reviews

Bare Wires : well worth adding to your collection
John Mayall's bluesy and sometimes jazzy album contains a great variety of quality music. Plus, Mick Taylor is at his best.
I've been playing this album since it first came out...back in 1968, and I still think it's a great listen.
This is a MUST for any John Mayall fan.

Change of direction, but another solid Mayall album
This is the original release, plus 4 tracks that are available elsewhere.
The album was a change of direction for Mayall, to a more jazz-based sound in many areas. However, there is plenty for the blues fan to enjoy as well, particularly in the playing of Mick Taylor, who plays with a maturity well beyond his years (he was 19 when it was recorded!). Every member of the band is a seasoned pro, and that much is obvious by listening to all their contributions. The Bare Wires Suite, although slightly self-indulgent in places, generally works well, and the remainder of the album contains some very strong songs, all written by Mayall himself.

This is another must-have album for all fans of British blues-based music at it's best.

John Mayall Bare Wires
It's fantastic to be able to put on a recording last heard decades ago & find the music still so fresh & moving. Of course, Mayall is the greatest interpreter of the blues from the UK, and his bands were the launching pad for many of the most talented musicians the UK has ever produced.
