John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers<\/strong> – Wake Up Call – 1992 ****<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>L\u2019unique album de ce jour est consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 John Mayall<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, \u00ab le parrain du British Blues \u00bb, disparu en 2024, \u00e0 90 ans, et dont la pl\u00e9thorique discographie<\/strong><\/span><\/a> s\u2019\u00e9l\u00e8ve \u00e0 plus de 70 albums –dont 40 en studio<\/em>-, en solo ou avec ses Bluesbreakers, qui l’accompagnent ici. \u00ab Wake Up Call \u00bb<\/strong> date de 1992. –Cliquer sur l\u2019image pour la voir en plus grand<\/em>-.<\/p>\n

Croyez-le ou non, cette tr\u00e8s abondante discographie, entam\u00e9e en 1964 et dont le dernier opus enregistr\u00e9 en studio date de 2022, ne compte aucun mauvais album<\/span> : John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, formation \u00e0 la composition \u00e9ternellement \u00e9ph\u00e9m\u00e8re, proposent des compositions blues-rock toujours tr\u00e8s solides \u00e0 d\u00e9faut d’\u00eatre toujours tr\u00e8s originales, toujours tr\u00e8s bien jou\u00e9es et exposant, au fil des g\u00e9n\u00e9rations, de remarquables guitaristes mis en vedette : Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Harvey Mandel, Gary Moore, Coco Montoya ou Buddy Whittington pour ne citer que les plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bres.<\/p>\n

Evidemment, on \u00e9vitera d\u2019\u00e9couter ces albums \u00e0 la cha\u00eene, au risque de la lassitude, tant ils sont finalement assez monolithiques, bien qu’enregistr\u00e9s sur pr\u00e8s de sept d\u00e9cennies. Mais, pris individuellement, chacun est a minima<\/em> un bon disque, et souvent mieux que \u00e7a. Je garde personnellement une pr\u00e9f\u00e9rence pour son fameux triptyque des ann\u00e9es 60 : \u00ab The Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton<\/strong> \u00bb –1966<\/em><\/span>-, \u00ab A Hard Road<\/strong> \u00bb –1967<\/em><\/span>– et \u00ab Crusade<\/strong> \u00bb –1967<\/span><\/em>– et, surtout, pour \u00ab Blues From Laurel Canyon<\/strong> \u00bb –1968, <\/em>sans les Bluesbreakers, momentan\u00e9ment dissous \u00e0 cette date, mais avec Mick Taylor (guitare solo et slide<\/span>), Colin Allen (batterie)<\/span> et Stephen Thomson (basse<\/span>)<\/em>-, -, son meilleur album \u00e0 mes oreilles, t\u00e9moignage de son installation \u00e9ph\u00e9m\u00e8re en Californie, o\u00f9 il avait \u00e9lu domicile dans une cabane dans les arbres !<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a>Croyez-le encore ou non, chaque guitariste pass\u00e9 au sein des Bluesbreakers a \u00e9t\u00e9 plus ou moins profond\u00e9ment brouill\u00e9 \u00e0 un moment de sa carri\u00e8re avec ce mentor dot\u00e9 d\u2019un caract\u00e8re tyrannique et, selon de nombreux t\u00e9moignages, assez \u00e9pouvantable ! Pendant la majorit\u00e9 de sa tr\u00e8s longue carri\u00e8re, John Mayall a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9clips\u00e9 par les artistes propuls\u00e9s par son \u00ab acad\u00e9mie de blues \u00bb,<\/strong> ainsi qu\u2019il appelait les Bluesbreakers, et il semble qu\u2019il en ait gard\u00e9 quelque rancoeur.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Dans \u00ab Wake Up Call \u00bb<\/strong>, John Mayall est accompagn\u00e9 de David Grissom –guitare rythmique<\/em>– et Coco Montoya –guitare<\/em>-, Rick Cortes –basse<\/em>– et Jon Yuele –batterie<\/em>-. Parmi ses prestigieux invit\u00e9s figurent les guitaristes Buddy Guy<\/strong><\/a><\/span> pour un titre et Mick Taylor pour deux morceaux, dont la chanson \u00e9ponyme –cf. extrait<\/em>-. Un album vari\u00e9, qui exc\u00e8de parfois les fronti\u00e8res du blues ou du blues-rock, avec d’excellentes parties de guitares flamboyantes !<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/latelierdediablotin.fr\/WordPress3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Extrait08022026.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
