Forty Below Records announces a September 4th release date for Find a Way to Care, the new CD from legendary blues musician John Mayall, distributed by Sony\/RED. Forty Below Records will also release a special vinyl LP version of the new album in the fall.\u00a0 To watch the video trailer premiere of the making of the Find a Way to Care album, click here: http:\/\/youtu.be\/E-jwpvB4OY0 About the new album, Eric Corne says, \u201cI really wanted to feature John’s keyboard playing on this record. He\u2019s truly one of the most lyrical, economical and underrated keyboardists around. We also wanted to change things up a bit after the success of A Special Life and the addition of a horn section on several tracks was a really fun way to do that. As good as the last album was, I think this one is even better.\u201d<\/p>\n The even-dozen tracks on Find a Way to Care include a scintillating group of new songs and savvy covers of \u201cMother in Law Blues\u201d (Don Robey), \u201cThe River\u2019s Invitation\u201d (Percy Mayfield), \u201cI Feel So Bad\u201d(Lightnin\u2019 Hopkins), \u201cLong Distance Call\u201d (Muddy Waters), \u201cI Want All My Money Back\u201d (Lee Baker) and Drifting Blues\u201d (Charles Brown). <\/p>\n About his choice of cover songs on the new album, Mayall says, \u201cEvery time I make an album, I always feel I owe it to my fans to come up with fresh and varied interpretations of the blues. With this in mind, I chose an assemblage of songs that includes perhaps some slightly lesser-known bluesmen, and that all had either different beats or special instrumental treatments. I also found three songs that would be further enhanced by the addition of horns.\u201d<\/p>\n Added to the mix are original songs that always feature Mayall\u2019s take on the current human condition, as well as universal truths. \u201cAs always, I draw from my own experiences and thoughts about things in my life so that from album to album I create on ongoing musical diary of my life,\u201d he explains. \u201cThe blues never lets me down!\u201d For over 50 years, John Mayall has served as a pioneer of blues music, rightly earning him the title, \u201cThe Godfather of British Blues.\u201d In 2013, John signed with producer Eric Corne\u2019s label, Forty Below Records, and has since been experiencing a true artistic and career renaissance.<\/p>\n He continues to perform extensively both in the USA and abroad, and has an ambitious touring schedule in place for the rest of the summer and fall that was booked by Monterey International Artists (www.montereyinternational.net). <\/p>\n Find a Way to Care Track Listing<\/p>\n 1 MOTHER IN LAW BLUES key of E \t\t Bonus Tracks \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Source: <\/span>www.fortybelowrecords.com<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Forty Below Records announces a September 4th release date for Find a Way to Care,…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5476"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5476\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
Produced by John Mayall (who also did the graphic design and artwork for the album) and Forty Below\u2019s Eric Corne, Find a Way to Care was recorded at the House of Blues Studio in Encino, California. In addition to Mayall (vocals, piano, Hammond organ, Wurlitzer, clavinet, guitar and harmonica), featured on the sessions are Rocky Athas (lead and rhythm guitar), Greg Rzab (bass) and Jay Davenport (drums), who collectively are now into their seventh year as John\u2019s band. The group is also augmented by a horn section on several tracks. <\/p>\n
Find a Way to Care comes following an especially exciting year-long period of great music from Mayall that included the 2014 release of his first studio album in five years, A Special Life, and the April, 2015, release of John Mayall\u2019s Bluesbreakers \u2013 Live in 1967 (Never Before Heard Live Performances). The live album was a critically-lauded archival recording of one of the best of his Bluesbreakers band lineups that featured Mayall, as well as Peter Green (lead guitar), John McVie (bass) and Mick Fleetwood (drums). It showcased a band that was together for only a scant three months, yet created a lasting legacy, made an immense impact on music and led to the formation of one of the most acclaimed groups of all-time when Green, McVie and Fleetwood left to form Fleetwood Mac.<\/p>\n
