CD - John Mayall's Bluesbreakers - The Power Of The Blues Part II

1CD - Import

In 1984 Mayall formed the Bluesbreakers lineup that features on The Power Of The Blues Part II, featuring guitarists Walter Trout and Coco Montoya. Both Trout and Montoya hugely admired Mayall's bandleading skills with Trout telling "You won't find a more accomplished bandleader. What I learned from watching him was that being a bandleader is a talent in itself. He was fun and humorous." The Trout/Montoya Bluesbreakers inevitably ran its course. Drummer Joe Yuele stayed with Mayall until 2008 but Trout and Montoya left in 1989 and 1993 respectively, to lead their own bands. Bassist Bobby Haynes also left, in 1990, to form a jazz band, before his death on July 31, 2018, aged 83.
