Industry Reviews

"Engrossing account of a British blues pioneer" Morning Star

"An essential purchase for both newcomers and longtime fans, not least for the donkey-work of veteran music author Joel McIver in focussing on the essentials of not only John's factual account of his life, but 'sensations and emotions' felt" Ugly Things

"Mayall's wild journey from his WWII-era childhood to his 2016 induction into the Blues Hall of Fame. And what a journey it's been" Guitar World

"The blues legend's autobiography is a very easy - and truly fascinating - read. A thoroughly absorbing first-hand account by the most central of figures." The Beat

"Mayall's anecdote-filled autobiography rattles along at
great pace and offers an intriguing insight" Long live Vinyl

"Hugely influential musician sets the record straight. An engrossing, candid account of a unique life in music" Record Collector
