要是有谁准备来写现代摇滚乐史,那么他准不会落掉一个一辈子都没有搞过摇滚的人——约翰·梅奥尔(John Mayall),国际流行乐坛尽人皆知的“英国布鲁斯之父”。给摇滚修史扯上“布鲁斯(Blues)之父”,这不是风马牛不相及吗?非也。因为布鲁斯乃是摇滚乐诞生的根源,而约翰·梅奥尔1963年组创的“布鲁斯开拓者乐队”又是英国早期节奏与布鲁斯和后期以布鲁斯为基础的摇滚乐之间的桥梁。肩负“铺路架桥”重任的梅奥尔在振兴布鲁斯乐在英国发展的同时,也为摇滚乐的壮大扶植了一批杰出的乐手——当年他在乐队中不仅是主唱,而且还身兼键盘和口琴吹奏者,与他合作过的几位吉它手则先后组创或加盟一些著名的摇滚乐队成为璀璨的摇滚巨星:彼得·格林参加了“笑利特伍德·麦克”乐队,米克·泰勒于1969年加盟“滚石”乐队,约翰·麦维则投到“犯人”乐队旗下;最出色的乐手埃里克·科慕普顿则成功地使“奶油”乐队大放异彩……这些 If anyone is prepared to write a history of modern rock and roll, then he will not drop a man who has never been involved with rock-and-roll - John Mayall, the well-known “father of British Bruce” on the international pop scene. Does it mean that there is no other way to compare the history of rock to the history of “the father of Blues?” Because Bruce was the root cause of rock and roll, and John Mayor founded in 1963, “Bruce Blazers band” is the bridge between the early British rhythm and Bruce and later Bruce-based rock music. Mayor, who shoulders the task of “paving the bridge”, has played a very important role in rocking Brucella while revitalizing Bruce. He was not only a vocalist in the band but also a keyboard And the harmonica player, with several guitarists he has worked together to create or join some of the famous rock band to become a dazzling rock star: Peter Green participated in the “LOLO TEAMMARK” band, Mick Taylor Joined the Rolling Stones in 1969 and John Maevieh was cast in the Prisoners’ Band; the best player Eric Compton managed to make the Cream band shine ... these
