The 18-year-old \u003cstrong\u003eMick Taylor\u003c\/strong\u003e had crossed Mayall's path a couple of years earlier at a show in Hatfield: it was now time for him to join, as \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Green\u003c\/strong\u003e had left Mayall to form his own group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe album was so titled as Mayall felt that he would forever be on a crusade to get the blues to the widest audience possible.
