Manufactured And Distributed By Polydor Records Canada Limited
For purely sentimental and nostalgic reasons, THE TURNING POINT is my favorite John Mayall album. When I was three, I begged my parents to repeatedly play the exciting harmonica rave-up "Room to Move". It is virtually impossible still for me not to find my aging bones bouncing and hopping still as Mayall rips into that incredibly invigorating piece.
A word of warning: do not listen to "Room to Move" while driving. My insurance just went up due to a recent speeding ticket.
The rest of the album is filled with wonderful and intricate musicianship. The guitar, flute and sax interplay is sheer calming brilliance. It provides a great counterpoint to the release of the aforementioned cut. Mayall and his group think loose and play tight like the best of jazz musicians. They fuse elements of jazz, folk, blues and rock.
A fine album worth discovering.

Ok this song is the freakin' live!
John Mayall . Roxanne
This is great stuff, but its only a shell of Roxanne. I'd like to hear the entire song with the sax included
