Mayall's first post-Bluesbreakers album saw the man returning to his roots after
the jazz/blues fusion that was Bare Wires. Blues from Laurel Canyon is a blues album,
through and through. Testimony to this is the fact that there's a guitar solo only
50 seconds into the opening track. Indeed, Mayall dispersed the entire brass section
for Blues from Laurel Canyon, and instead chose the solid but relatively limited
backing of Mick Taylor (guitar), Colin Allen (drums), and Stephen Thompson (bass).
Instantly, it is apparent that John Mayall hasn't lost his touch with the blues. "Vacation,"
the album's opener, reminds one exactly why this artist is so celebrated for his
songwriting ability. Blues from Laurel Canyon is as unerring as Bluesbreakers
with Eric Clapton, and equally as musically interesting. Not only is this
one of the finest John Mayall albums, it is also a highlight in the blues genus...(AllMusic)
