Product Description

Album Description

Turning Point includes three bonus tracks. It is recorded live in 1969 during a show at NYC's famed Fillmore East just after Mick Taylor left to join the Rolling Stones. The album instead featured the guitar playing of Jon Mark and John Almond on sax and flute but no drums. This created a sound that was radically different from their previous releases.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unforgetable, Oct 22 2003
By 
This review is from: The Turning Point (Audio CD)
I remember this album (yes, that funny round vinyl thing) when it was new. I was blown away by the music that I heard. It is undoubtedly the best "live" album I've ever heard and I wanted more. I wore the record out!! I plan to wear the CD out, too!If you like smooth,jazzy, easy blues/R & B by a rocker, give it a try. Makes Dave Matthews look bad, and I like Dave Matthews.

5.0 out of 5 stars Acoustic Blues Deluxe, May 19 2004
By 
Steven P. Lynn (Outside Tucson, Arizona) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Turning Point (Audio CD)
One of the other reviewers calls this album a "timeless classic" and it is. Over the very many years that John Mayall has been making blues music he has developed a reputation as the foremost British interpreter of the guitar/harmonica-based Chicago blues style, and has worked with extradinary musicians (particularly guitarists- Peter Green, Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor, among many others).
This album is all acoustic and it is extradinary. Anyone who thinks only of Mayall's electric approach is missing a real treat here.
Throughout his long and distinguished career John Mayall has been criticized for his vocals, and if you don't like them no one can help you with that. But, regardless, the musicianship on this work is so good, and the spark in the band is so uplifting, that his voice is of secondary concern.
Highly recommended from a long-time blues lover.
