In the Palace of the King ReviewThe pitch on the little plastic label adhered to the CD wrapper began with the words "...best Mayall in decades..." which is not really the case because every one of the recordings John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers have released in the past twenty or so years has had more than a few great performances. This one's different, however, with its focus on the works and influence of the great Freddie King. I'm happy to report that JM and the boys do him proud.
As usual, Buddy Whittington provides a veritable master class on the subject of the electric blues guitar. Paying tribute to his fellow Texan, he covers all the stylistic bases and even takes the microphone on "Big Legged Woman." Joe Yuele continues providing the perfect rhythmic foundation while bassist Hank Van Sickle maintains a firm grip on the low end, giving an especially noteworthy performance on Leon Russell's "I'd Rather be Blind." Tom Canning again serves-up fine accompaniment on organ and Mayall adds to his fine body of work on the harp.
As if a smokin' set by the Bluesbreakers weren't enough, Mayall continues his tradition of providing exposure to promising guitarists by offering Robben Ford a guest spot on his own instrumental tribute to King, "Cannonball Shuffle," previously heard his fine 2003 recording "Keep on Running," on which Mr. Mayall guested on harp.
The bottom line is that from start to finish, "In the Palace of the King" is a fine listen which I highly recommend.In the Palace of the King OverviewJohn Mayall, the Godfather of British Blues , returns with the Bluesbreakers for his latest studio album In The Palace Of The King. This new album is John's tribute to one of his blues heroes, the late, great Freddie King. King was a blues guitar pioneer from the mid-50's through to his tragically early death in the mid-70's and he influenced everyone from Peter Green to Dave Edmunds to Stevie Ray Vaughan and probably most of all Eric Clapton, who produced and played on King's final album. In The Palace Of The King features John Mayall's take on his personal selection of Freddie King favorites and is a fabulouscombination of two true blues legends.
