After 'Walter Trout' in early 2019 and his 'Survivor Blues' (see here), it's still a monument of music that has just released a new album 'Nobody Told Me', I named 'John Mayall' who at 85 years old continues to enchant us with always the same generosity and the same desire to transmit this always intact passion of blues. For this XXth album to not deceived me, I will not try to recount all his albums), he surrounded himself with talented artists of the six-string with among others 'Joe Bonamassa' (see his latest album 'Redemption' here) and her faithful guitarist 'Carolyn Wonderland' (see her latest album here). Not surprisingly, we are embarked on compositions that smell an authentic blues with titles that make you move to the rhythm of music and this from the beginning with for example 'What Have I Done Wrong' where we are already on a small cloud between the song of a young man of 20 years of John (with 65 years of experience !) and the feeling of 'Joe Bonamassa' which gives us the thrill from the first notes of the guitar solo . The whole is a mix of energetic tracks like 'That's What Love Will Make You Do' or 'Like It Like You Do', others more mid-tempo like 'Delta Hurricane' or 'It's so Tough' and others even more calm and sensual like 'Evil and Here to Stay', 'Distant Lonesome Train' or 'Nobody Told Me'. No need to add, place to music and as they say: 'enjoy'!
