I absolutely love this 1968 LP by The John Mayall Blues Breakers called "Bare Wires. I think it is has some of the most phenomenal music on it that you're ever going to hear. The instruments combine for an airiness that is unreal, and then there is the freaking amazing guitar work by Mick Taylor to top it off.
I've listened to thousands of records in my life, and I still know of nothing that compares to this record.
Side one is titled "Barewires-Suite" and is composed of four songs, and I found them individually on YouTube, but I just couldn't present it that way. These songs are one complete package and need to be heard the way they were meant to be heard.
In addition to everything John does, the Drums by Jon Hiseman, the Violin by Henry Lowther, the Horns by Chris Mercer and Dick Heckstall-Smith, the Bass by Tony Reeves, and the Guitar of Mick Taylor are just stellar.
