John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers - The Supernatural

"A Hard Road", "Crusade", The Blues Alone" foram os três álbuns gravados por John Mayall em 1967, os dois primeiros com a companhia dos Bluesbreakers.

Eric Clapton já tinha deixados os Bluesbreakers, outros músicos de excepção por lá passavam. Peter Green, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood (futuros Fleetwood Mac) e Aynsley Dunbar, também Paul Butterfield (mais tarde Paul Butterfield Blues Band) por lá passou.

Aos 81 anos podemos ver John Mayall a interpretar "A Hard Road" tema de abertura do álbum homónimo de 1967.



Na contra capa de "A Hard Road" pode-se ler as seguintes notas de John Mayall:

"The personal of the Bluesbreakers having changed since our last LP, this album serves as a proper introduction to two new members of the group... Peter Green on lead guitar and Aynsley Dunbar on Drums.
I think that most people will realize what a tough time lay ahead in the way of comparison and criticism for any guitarist in the country faced with replacing the acknowledged master of blues guitar, Eric Clapton, in my band. However Peter Green took over the job and managed to brave out the storm.
...
Speaking of the modern young blues guitarists that I've heard 'live' I would certainly cram Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Eric Clapton and Peter Green on the some pedestral."

É de Peter Green a faixa escolhida, "The Supernatural" (a premonição de "Black Magic Woman"), do álbum "A Hard Road", a fazer jus às palavras de John Mayall.
