Going Back to California - Again June 30, 2008
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.
John Mayall & The Music March 25, 2008
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.

I bought this album when albums were albums...i.e. in the vinyl record days. I've purchased a total of three copies, since I've worn out them years later (though I prefer the warmth of vinyl). That said, I'm glad this disc is still in print.
There's not a bad tune in the lot. Probably my favorites are 'I'm going to fight for you J.B.' and 'California'.
This is a CD that is fresh and innovative and listenable decades later. I play it often, and it never fails to please with its ballads and its up-tempo 'Room to Move'. Some call this a jazz album, but I think it's more bluesy than jazz.
Also fun is Mayall's introduction of the band to the audience. Also fun is his reaction to the audience pleading with him to continue playing, followed by 'Room to Move'.
Highly recommended. Really, a must have.
