 With his new all-American line up, Mayall pursued the jazzy blues experiment documented on his live album "The Turning Point".This unusual format (electric guitars by Mayall and Mandel, Mayall playing piano and harmonica as well, Harris's electric violin, Taylor's acoustic and electric bass, and no drums) the band created a unique sound and recorded this series of songs mostly chronicling Mayall's then-romance with Nancy Throckmorton (a theme he first visited on "Empty Rooms"), who provided some photography for the album jacket.
