John Mayall is undoubtedly one of the most successful bandleaders in the history of the blues. With 1999's Padlock On The Blues he and his long-running outfit The Bluesbreakers created an album that easily ranks among Mayall's finest complete with guest appearances by such legends as John Lee Hooker, Coco Montoya and Ernie Watts. The Hook and his unique guitar style make quite the impression on "Somebody's Watching" and "Bad Dream Catcher" while Watts' tenor saxophone skills give opener "Do Not Turn Your Back" that special touch. An album of the finest blues that genre aficionados should not miss available on 180g vinyl 2LP for the first time!
