\"John-Mayall\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Avis\u00a0:<\/strong><\/p>\n

On a tendance \u00e0 dire que le blues est le p\u00e8re de nombreux genres, dont le rock et le m\u00e9tal qui en d\u00e9coule tout doucement. Souvent techniciens et musiciens de talent, les bluesmen sont, pour les plus vieux, devenus des l\u00e9gendes vivantes. Mais alors que certaines stars prennent rapidement leur retraite, notamment \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque du disco, les joueurs de blues continuent inlassablement de faire des tourn\u00e9es et de fournir des albums. A titre d\u2019exemple, John Mayall<\/strong> a 81 balais et il fournit encore un nouvel album. Alors qu\u2019il entame sa cinquanti\u00e8me ann\u00e9e de carri\u00e8re, le bluesman livre un album classique, qui ne r\u00e9volutionnera pas le genre (difficile d\u2019y arriver maintenant) mais qui s\u2019\u00e9coute sans d\u00e9plaisir. Mais n ne pourra s\u2019emp\u00eacher d\u2019\u00eatre d\u00e9\u00e7u par bien des aspects, surtout quand on regarde la biographie de ce musicien. Il faut dire qu\u2019il a cr\u00e9\u00e9 les Bluesbreakers<\/strong> dans les ann\u00e9es 60 et que gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ce groupe, il a r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 des artistes devenus aujourd\u2019hui des monuments de la musique comme Eric Clapton<\/strong> qui sera le fondateur de Cream<\/strong> par la suite, Mick Taylor<\/em>, qui n\u2019est pas le tueur psychopathe de Wolf Creek<\/strong>, et qui rejoindra par la suite les Rolling Stones<\/strong> (rien que \u00e7a\u00a0!) ou encore Peter Green<\/em> qui fera partie de Fleetwood Mac<\/strong>. Bref, derri\u00e8re la l\u00e9gende John Mayall<\/strong>, on aurait aim\u00e9 un album un peu plus transgressif.<\/p>\n

Le skeud d\u00e9bute avec Why Did You Go Last Night<\/em>. Et il s\u2019agit sans surprise d\u2019un morceau tr\u00e8s blues avec toujours ce rythme impos\u00e9 \u00e0 la gratte et \u00e0 la basse. Alors il est vrai que l\u2019on a droit \u00e0 de l\u2019harmonica ou encore \u00e0 du piano, puisque ce sont tous les instruments que ma\u00eetrise le musicien, et m\u00eame si cela reste technique et tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressant, on a l\u2019impression d\u2019avoir entendu cela des millions de fois au travers d\u2019autres bluesman. En fait, on a la d\u00e9sagr\u00e9able sensation que John Mayall<\/strong> se repose sur ses lauriers, ne proposant qu\u2019un melting pot de ce qu\u2019il sait faire le mieux et \u00e0 travers duquel il ne prend pas de risque. Mais apr\u00e8s tout, n\u2019est-ce pas ce que les fans attendent\u00a0? On retrouve cela dans des titres comme World Gone Crazy<\/em>, toujours avec le m\u00eame m\u00e9lange des instruments, mais avec une pr\u00e9pond\u00e9rance pour le piano. Big Town Playboy<\/em> est exactement du m\u00eame acabit, offrant un moment agr\u00e9able, mais qui ne se d\u00e9marque pas un brindes autres musiques que proposent n\u2019importe quel bluesman. Alors effectivement, c\u2019est bien foutu, difficile de ne pas \u00eatre satisfait par les m\u00e9lodies et les technicit\u00e9s dont fait preuve John Mayall<\/strong>, mais cela reste foutrement trop classique et apr\u00e8s plusieurs \u00e9coutes, on finit par se lasser, ce qui est dommage. En m\u00eame temps, lorsqu\u2019il d\u00e9cide d\u2019innover un peu, on sent que c\u2019est limite, \u00e0 l\u2019image de Heartache<\/em>, un titre qui ressemble plus \u00e0 une musique d\u2019ascenseur qu\u2019\u00e0 un vrai morceau de blues.<\/p>\n

\"JMayall\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s, tout n\u2019est pas d\u00e9cevant dans l\u2019album, loin de l\u00e0. On peut signaler Speak of the Devil<\/em>, qui s\u2019inscrit dans une d\u00e9marche bien plus rock avec des guitares affut\u00e9es et des riffs assez puissants et int\u00e9ressants. Malheureusement, il faudra attendre un long moment dans le skeud pour retrouver cette sensation rock avec I Just Got to Know<\/em>, dont le refrain entre imm\u00e9diatement en t\u00eate et donne envie de chanter \u00e0 tue-t\u00eate. Quand on vous dit que tout n\u2019est pas noir\u00a0! Ensuite, le musicien s\u2019emploie \u00e0 utiliser un rythme plus lent pour susciter une certaine \u00e9motion, comme Just a Memory<\/em>, qui cl\u00f4ture l\u2019album et qui reste un morceau touchant et tr\u00e8s beau avec un sublime solo de piano. D\u2019ailleurs, il s\u2019agit d\u2019un morceau sur lequel la voix du chanteur s\u2019accorde parfaitement, provenant du fond de sa gorge. Enfin, difficile de ne pas parler de Floodin\u2019 in California<\/em>, un morceau qui fleure bon les ann\u00e9es 60\/70, avec un clavier omnipr\u00e9sent, offrant des sons assez aigus et qui rappellent irr\u00e9m\u00e9diablement les ann\u00e9es phares de ce genre de sonorit\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

Au final, A Special Life<\/strong>, le dernier album de John Mayall<\/strong>, n\u2019est pas d\u00e9nu\u00e9 d\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat, bien au contraire, il est plut\u00f4t int\u00e9ressant, mais il reste bien trop classique. A 81 ans, \u00e2ge plus que respectable, le musicien s\u2019accorde un petit plaisir qui ne perturbera pas les fans et le genre, qui est bien foutu, qui permettra surement aux nouveaux auditeurs de se familiariser avec le blues, mais tout cela reste tr\u00e8s scolaire, tr\u00e8s classique pour vraiment emporter les suffrages. Enfin, n\u2019importe qui aimerait avoir sa force, sa verve et son talent \u00e0 81 piges.<\/p>\n
