Born in the UK in 1933, he laid the foundations of British blues, nurtured a generation of future superstars and then took the music back to the land of its birth. This extraordinary autobiography offers a vivid glimpse of Britain well before the rock revolution of the sixties, at a time when young men like John found themselves conscripted for national service that, in his case, included eighteen months in Korea. What followed when he returned was an odyssey of musical trail-blazing. From Manchester to Laurel Canyon and many points in between, John's account of his long life is both affectionate and compelling - a guided tour through more than sixty years of the music business and its stars, brought to vivid life by one of its undisputed pioneers. 600 10 $a Mayall, John. 650 0 $a Blues musicians $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Rock musicians $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Blues (Music) $x History. 700 1 $a McIver, Joel, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103015532.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A54ED784D7AA11EAACEF483997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
