We are saddened to hear the passing of Blues Pioneer John Mayall this past Monday. Mayall masterminded the Bluesbreakers and helped usher Blues to a new audience in the UK in the 1960’s.

Throughout his career he was known for his music and the Artists he hired and collaborated with including Eric Clapton Peter Green, Mick Taylor and more.

We’ll continue to pay tribute to John Mayall by featuring his music here on WUMB including upcoming episodes of Highway 61 Revisited, Saturday with Brendan Hogan and more.
