STUCK IN THE VINYL AGAIN - JOHN MAYALL - A BANQUET IN BLUES

[maggot]

Good Thursday morning gang and welcome to the Thanksgiving 2020 edition of Stuck In The Vinyl Again. Each year on the 4th Thursday in November, we gather with Family, friends and a feast to give thanks to the Lord for our Blessings and abundances. Happy Thanksgiving ! In addition to turkey day it is also the 75th Birthday of  English bass guitarist, John McVie, best known for his work in John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers as well as Fleetwood Mac. Happy Birthday John ! A Banquet In Blues by John Mayall was released in 1976 on ABC Records and produced by John Mayall. Both album and it's sole single, "Sunrise" failed to chart, although I fail to see why, because the album is a delightful showcase of basic blues.
