John Mayall, British Blues Pioneer, Dead at 90
John Mayall, the legendary musician often called the godfather of British Blues, passed away on Monday at the age of 90. The news was confirmed in a statement on Mayall’s social media pages, which reads:
It is with heavy hearts that we bear the news that John Mayall passed away peacefully in his California home yesterday, July 22, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. Health issues that forced John to end his epic touring career have finally led to peace for one of this world’s greatest road warriors. John Mayall gave us ninety years of tireless efforts to educate, inspire and entertain.
In a 2014 interview with The Guardian, John reflected, “[blues] is about – and it’s always been about – that raw honesty with which [it expresses] our experiences in life, something which all comes together in this music, in the words as well. Something that is connected to us, common to our experiences.” That raw honesty, connection, community and playing of his will continue to affect the music and culture we experience today, and for generations to come.
An appointed OBE (Officer of the British Empire), 2x Grammy-nominated artist and recent inductee to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, John is survived by his 6 children, Gaz, Jason, Red, Ben, Zak and Samson, 7 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. He is also surrounded with love by his previous wives, Pamela and Maggie, his devoted secretary, Jane, and his close friends. We, the Mayall family, cannot thank his fans and long-list of bandmembers enough for the support and love we were blessed to experience secondhand over the last six decades.
John closed that same Guardian interview by reflecting further on the blues, “To be honest, I don’t think anyone really knows exactly what it is. I just can’t stop playing it.” Keep on playing the blues somewhere, John. We love you.
Born in Macclesfield, Cheshire in 1933, Mayall taught himself to play the piano, guitar, and harmonica before moving to London to form the Bluesbreakers with Peter Ward, John McVie, and Bernie Watson. He also backed blues greats such as John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker, Eddie Boyd, and Sonny Boy Williamson on their first English club tours. After Eric Clapton quit the Yardbirds, Mayall offered him the job as his new guitarist. He was briefly replaced by Peter Green but returned a few months later, and the group released Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton in July 1966. Mayall had to replace Clapton once again following the formation of Cream and persuaded Green to come back. Green soon left to found Fleetwood Mac, leading to the recruitment of Mick Taylor before he went on to join the Rolling Stones.
In 1969, Mayall emigrated to the Los Angeles area and eventually bought a home in Laurel Canyon. He cut 1969’s The Turning Point live at Bill Graham’s Fillmore East for Polydor with a drummerless group that featured guitarist Jon Mark and flautist-saxophonist John Almond. Guitarist Harvey Mandel and bassist Larry Taylor, both from Canned Heat, would then join the group. In 1982, Mayall decided to reform the original Bluesbreakers for a couple of tours and a video concert film called Blues Alive.
Mayall’s last studio album was 2022’s The Sun Is Shining Down. He was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2016. In April of this year, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the Musical Influence category.

Harley Benton Guitars Review
Music stores offer a wide range of guitars, so everyone can choose an instrument to their liking. The German brand Harley Benton is famous for its high quality. In the article, we will look at the brand’s products, review the most popular products, and also tell you what to look for when purchasing.
Peculiarities
The Harley Benton brand produces more than 1,500 models of various guitars and accessories. This brand was founded in 1996 and belongs to the German concern Thomann, which initially sold exclusively accessories and components for musical instruments. The company’s management decided to start producing tools under its own brand. This was the beginning of Harley Benton.
The German concern managed to combine the high quality of its products with a fairly affordable price. Of course, these are far from being professional products, but for beginners, they are excellent purchases and can last for several years. The bodies of the instruments are made of linden, and there are also expensive guitars made from more worthy wood species, equipped with high-quality equipment from Grover, Gotoh Gut Co., Ltd., and Trev Wilkinson.
The German brand Harley Benton offers a large selection of guitars of any kind. Here is a description of the most popular options.
D-120CE BK
A full-size acoustic guitar with 6 metal strings, black with a white frame, the neck and body are made of alder. The cutaway provides easy access to the upper frets. The fingerboard and bridge are made of composite wood. Good sound quality, wear resistance, and resistance to different weather conditions make the model optimal for starting to learn to play the guitar.
PB-20 BK Standard Series
Thanks to its lacquered finish, this budget electric guitar in black and white looks very stylish and modern. Six strings and 20 frets provide a clear and bright sound. The model is equipped with built-in pickups. Beginners and intermediate musicians consider themselves lucky to have a quality product at an affordable price. The guitar produces an even and ringing sound, lasts a long time, and fits comfortably in the hand.
B-450 Black Progressive Series
The four-string bass guitar is finished in black and varnished to create a glossy finish. The body is made of walnut, and the bridge is made of alder. The product is equipped with a double anchor and two pickups with a fuse. The body has volume, bass, and balance controls. Buyers are delighted with the quality of the guitar, the sound produced, and the performance.
HBZ-2005 Deluxe Series
A model from the premium segment of the German brand. The original design of the product is ensured by an interesting wood-look coloring. The through neck adds sophistication to the product. The body is made of expensive mahogany glued with maple. The brand offers this guitar in two variations: with 24 frets or fretless. The number of strings can vary from 4 to 7. The tuners and bridge are made in black with a matte finish. All electronics on the device body are active. The high cost is fully justified by the decent quality.
—__–___ (Seth Graham, more eaze, recovery girl) Collaborate With Lucy Liyou on New Single
—__–___, the collaborative project between Seth Graham, more eaze, and recovery girl, have released a new single, ‘When god released me’, which features vocal contributions from Lucy Liyou. Lyrically, the song meditates on “the sadness of brutal rejection by family and friends for who you are,” according to Graham. Listen to it below.
‘When god released me’ is taken from the group’s forthcoming album Night of Fire, which follows 2021’s The Heart Pumps Kool-Aid and will be out August 30 via Orange Milk Records. Discussing the record, more eaze shared in a press release:
Night of Fire for me is very much about navigating the nearly mundane daily violence of living in a state that actively tries to oppress and harm its most vulnerable citizens. I left my home state of Texas in the fall of 2023 and began writing my contributions shortly before departing and then finished them over the course of the next several months in New York. A lot of the lyrics here are very much about how this systemic repression and oppression impacts and affects intrapersonal dynamics which in some cases recreate the same dichotomies and/or lead to a general sense of insecurity and unease. To me, this album really addresses leaving an inherently disenfranchised place amidst traumatic personal circumstances and then returning months later with a bizarre sense of distance and perspective. I think Seth and I’s relationship to our respective experiences in Ohio and Texas are similar to Thomas Bernhard’s writing about Vienna in his novel ‘The Loser’ where there is a sense of intimate familiarity and awe coupled with a profound sense of disillusionment. However, it is impossible to take everything as a gloom and doom situation and inevitably community, love, and happiness still manage to break through. Sonically, I feel like this album really explores this through the juxtaposition and layering of lush acoustic string arrangements and clean melodies in conjunction with harsh digital noise and screamed vocals.
duendita Shares New Single ‘planetary’
New York City artist duendita has returned with a new single called ‘planetary’, their first new music since 2022.

Hinds Drop Video for New Song ‘Superstar’
Hinds have shared another single from their upcoming album Viva Hinds. This one’s called ‘Superstar’, and it follows earlier cuts ‘Coffee’, ‘En Forma’, and the Beck collab ‘Boom Boom Back’. Check out its self-directed video below.
“‘Superstar’ talks about the disappointment and the pain you feel when someone you love deeply disappears with no explanation,” Hinds said in a press statement. “You feel worthless, you start thinking you never really knew that person, and you question your shared past and if what you remember really happened. It’s hard to let people go, but writing this song helped. People need closure, and this song is ours.”
Viva Hinds is due September 6 through Lucky Number.
Enumclaw Release New Song ‘Not Just Yet’

It arrives alongside a music video directed by John C. Peterson, which you can check out below.
