About this album

Back To The Roots is a strong return to John Mayall’s blues foundations, balancing hard-edged electric playing with the broader, exploratory spirit that marked his early 1970s work. Released in 1971, the album finds the British blues veteran revisiting the music that shaped him while still pushing forward with a large, varied set of songs. Mayall’s voice, harmonica and multi-instrumental approach give the record its restless energy, and the album’s title reflects its clear sense of purpose: a renewed link to blues tradition without sounding museum-bound. It stands as a key entry in Mayall’s prolific catalogue.
