The Turning Point

good to hear again after all these years. the quality is great and the songs still sound as good as they did on first hearing.

Great classic Mayall. It's wonderfull to be able to hear this album on demand once again. If you like Mayall and this genre', this CD is a must.

The band on this CD is great. I saw them live when they toured promoting this CD. My problem with this recording is that Mayall is an especially lame vocalist. I also agree with the reviewer who said that the lyrics were weak. Mayall has a great ear for talent, its too bad the didn't use that ear to hire a vocalist. In spite of the lyrics, I like most of the songs; although, "Room to Move" is all flash and no substance. It's showy and fun (especially live), but the harp playing is really nothing to write home about and the song is just a recycled "Tequila" riff played over and over again.

When this album came out I bought it and promptly wore it out!!! This is most excellent music. Mayall was fortunate to hook up with these musicians. They forged an album of blues & jazz for a lazy afternoon on the front porch sipping iced tea and relaxing.After finding this music had been re-issued on CD I am in the process of wearing it out....

I defy you to remain in your seat when you listen to this remastered masterwork.
Mayall's genius was fully apparent during the concert that became this album.
