John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers are a pioneering English blues band, led by singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist John Mayall, OBE. Mayall used the band name between 1963 and 1967, but then dropped it for some fifteen years. However, in 1982 a 'Return of the Bluesbreakers' was announced and the name was in use until the band again dissolved in 2008, to be resurrected again in 2009. The name has become generic without a clear distinction which recordings are to be credited just to the leader or to leader and his band. The Bluesbreakers have included luminaries such as: more »

When I was a boy about the age of ten
Got some old records by the blues men
Found a big connection to my lonely life
I couldn't wait to learn some more about them
The blues hit me deeper than I'd ever known
I knew I'd never be the only one alone

So special, all those heroes
Blind lemon Jefferson, barbecue bob
Blind boy fuller and blind blake
The stories they told about the lives they lived
Stirred imagination and a heartache
Started out playin' on an old guitar
Now I get to play the blues near and far
So special, all those heroes

When I was a man about twenty three
I got some Albert Ammons inside me 
I borrowed a piano and took my time
I thought about another king to guide me
Yalk about boogie on a piano
There ain't a man to beat big maceo
So special, all of my heroes

The power of the blues make a lion roar
Got my harp growling like an old bear
So many guys who ain't around no mere
Left us a magic we can all share

Big bill broonzy and all of his friends
The joint be jumpin' till the living end
So special, all those heroes

The great muddy waters and howling wolf
Said a whole lot of livin' in a blues song
I'd take me all day namin' all the names
So many fellas who are long gone

We all got the legacy to carry on
The spirit of the blues is gonna live on
So special, all my heroes
