This is a surprisingly good album from Mayall, who plays all the instruments (apart from a little help from Keef Hartley on the drums). Quite laid-back and introspective in feel, I suspect it may have got him thinking about using this almost acoustic approach in the future, which eventually came to pass with the "Turning Point" line-up of Steve Thompson, Jon Mark and Johnny Almond.
Don't expect any wailing guitar solos, because there aren't any; what we have are nicely crafted songs with sympathetic accompaniment from Mayall. His keyboard and harmonica work is particularly good. My favourite track is Marsha's Mood, a slow moody organ instrumental, but there is plenty to enjoy here. This release has one extra track (an alternative take of Marsha's Mood) so if you already have it on cd you may not wish to buy this, other than if you are an avid collector.

I bought this recently having had it on vinyl since 1970. It sounded as fresh as ever. The amazing thing is that John recorded this in 1967 in one day - and played all the instruments, with the exception of drums, where he had a little help from Keef Hartley. The tracks are all self-penned and are in the traditional blues mode. His blues harp playing stands out on many tracks, especially Brand New Start and Catch That Train. The slow blues song Down the line is a piano based tale of woe which he sings with feeling. All in all, this is an amazing feat: nothi ng like it could happen today. Buy it and enjoy the man at his lone best.

It arrived in reasonable time, my Dad had this in vinyl years ago, the music does not change & brings back memories of 30 years ago. John Mayall demonstrates his versatility here as a musician, as a performer & above all else - a blues man.
