John Mayall / Jerry McGee / Larry Taylor
Memories
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1971 Gatefold Original. Recorded At Larrabee Studios In Los Angeles. After disbanding his celebrated Bluesbreakers, Mayall sought a more roots-oriented and reflective sound, choosing to record in Los Angeles and surrounding himself with a new group of musicians. Among them were guitarist Jerry McGee, known for his session work with the Ventures and others, and bassist Larry Taylor, previously of Canned Heat. This collaboration brought a distinctly American flavor to Mayall’s British blues background, blending elements of folk, country, and jazz into the album’s framework and giving “Memories” a unique sonic identity compared to his earlier, more blues-driven releases.
