JOHN MAYALL ( - The Sensitive Kind - )
I always get a kick out of those who say if John would have just done this or that he would have been more famous. The fact that he's not too famous is just another feather in his hat as to how good he is. Not everyone likes blues. It has to resonate in your soul and I suppose not everyone has lived a hard and interesting life (or is the Sensitive Kind). Personally I think that has a lot to do with it. Historically the truly great artists in many genre's don't become famous until after they are dead. Strange isn't it. John's one in a million with his voice, his keyboards, harp and occasional guitar work and his uncanny ability to attract some of the greatest guitarists in the world. Enjoy for now John's over 80 and still doing it. Most lose their voices long before then but not John. Also being famous or popular isn't what it's about. :Pop culture and Pop music is for kids the common listener. But John's music is for those special souls with an ear to hear that soul touching mixture of notes called the blues.
