Performance: Sonics:
John Mayall & Friends: Along for the Ride is a wonderful disc that I enjoyed for quite a while and had it as one of my main “car” discs on Redbook CD. The sound quality is excellent and the performance always gave me a lift whenever I played it.
As mentioned above the combo of great musical performance as well as the first rate recorded sound led me to suggest it a few times to MB on Audio Fidelity's web site as a choice to attain for an SACD mastering. I was very happy when he announced he was going to bring out the title and even more so knowing that Steve Hoffman would squeeze every last bit of quality out of the master tapes. I wasn’t let down. It’s now a solid component of my main home listening rotation.
To sum up, this is a great mix of artistic performance by Mayall and his guests along with an excellent selection of tunes all presented as well as one could hope for by Steve’s talented mastering abilities.
If you like a great and varied selection of blues this is one you really can’t afford to pass up.
