Church - But not as you know it

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

I’ve been playing around with one of my favourite tracks from years ago - ‘Key to Love’ by John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton, circa 1967. The original has (in my ‘umble opinion) one of the finest 12 bar blues guitar solos on record.

I was chatting to some friends a few weeks ago and we joked that great blues tracks always seem to start with the line: ‘Well I woke up this morning …’ So I got thinking about some Christian lyrics to that old Bluesbreakers track.

My guitar solos are not as good as Clapton in his heyday, but playing them was the most fun bit of all the sequencing I had to do to record this version. If Dave, Charlie, Julian and Bernice can play the backing we’ll have a go at it live one Sunday morning at No Limits!

By the way, my last blood test was clear - 18 months down the track and so far so good.
