About "Hideaway (Mono)" by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers' 'Hideaway' is a mono marvel—a lean, shuffling instrumental where Clapton's Les Paul snarls and stings. The title suggests escape, but the tension is in the push-pull between the laid-back rhythm section and that fiery, restless lead. A smoky club corner, circa 1966.
