Back in 1966 when Eric Clapton delivered his heavily overdriven wailing
blues licks on the “Beano”
album with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, the guitar world was completely
shaken up. Legend has it that Eric put his hand flat on the controls of his
Marshall combo, moved his hand to the right, setting all controls full
power in the process.
Future Revelator singer and bassman Tom Huissen lived in London at the time
that the blues scene triggered by Clapton’s trademark guitar work
exploded.He became pals with Peter Green, Eric’s successor in the
Bluesbreakers, and witnessed the first rehearsals of Pete’s then new band
Fleetwood Mac.
Immediately after returning in Holland Tom started to form a blues band
modelled after Fleetwood Mac.Finding the right guys for the job was not too
hard and the band started to rehearse with cheap guitars, old tube driven
radios for amplifiers and a tyre lever for playing bottleneck guitar.
Early in 1969 the band adopted the name “John the Revelator” after the A
Capella blues traditional by the great Son House.John the Revelator took
off immediately and extensively started gigging the Dutch and European
blues circuits that were thriving at the time.
After winning the prestigious Loosdrecht Jazz contest in 1970 record label
Decca offered the band a recording contract resulting in the first album
Wild Blues.This highly collectable record was re-released on CD in 2003.
