Saw this band last night.....
Bob Davis | 09/10/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"No, I have not listened to Padlock in its entirety yet, but I certainly got a healthy taste of it last night when John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers opened up for his friend Peter Green at the Keswick Theater (near Philadelphia). They did an hour-and-a-half set and featured several songs from Padlock. The selections from Padlock represented the "real" blues in the Delta/Chicago style, with that unique British blues flavoring that no one can provide like Mayall. This is the real stuff, folks...as good as it gets."

"As a Mayall freak, this album was another must. Mayall turned me onto the blues long ago (as well as Paul Butterfield). Mayall went into the doldrums into the 70s but re-emerged with 'Sense of place'. I have every album since. This album has some great tracks but also has Mayall revisiting some of his 70's who 'cares territory'. The highlights are definitely his rework of 'Hard Road' from the 68 album, 'PadLock on the blues' and 'Country Girl'. Buddy Whittington on guitar adds so much to this album. I give it 4 stars because I love this man but only some of the tracks (but enough) live up to the 4 stars mark. My favourite Mayall remains 'Life in the Jungle'."
