John Mayall Releases “The Sun is Shining Down” with Greg Rzab
In his music career over the past six decades, John Mayall has had the pick of amazing bassists – John McVie, Jack Bruce, and Larry Taylor, just to name a few. For the past two decades, he’s been joined by Greg Rzab, who also anchors the blues legend’s latest album, The Sun is Shining Down.
The 10-song affair is packed with guests like Marcus King, Melvin Taylor, Buddy Miller, Mike Campbell, Jake Shimabukuro, and more. Each tune seems like a personal note from Mayall, who has over forty records under his belt.
Rzab’s CV also includes work with a who’s who of the blues: Buddy Guy, Hubert Sumlin, Junior Wells, Koko Taylor, John Lee Hooker, and more. His work on The Sun is Shining Down reflects all of his years of experience with an unshakeable groove and killer tone.
