Description by OLDIES.com:

Following the one-two punch of Bluesbreakers and A Hard Road, John Mayall cemented his status as blues-rock royalty with 1967's Crusade. Finding a promising protege in 18-year-old guitar prodigy Mick Taylor, Mayall and the soon-to-be Stone created the astonishing guitar work captured in these grooves. The album's fretboard frenzy was a career high point for both artists and remains a powerful influence on each successive generation of budding guitarists who rediscover it. Sourced from the magnificent-sounding original U.K. mono masters, this classic LP includes the complete original cover art.

Entertainment Reviews:

Down Beat - p.77
3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's clear the bandleader is emotionally invested in what he sings, especially his words to 'The Death of J.B. Lenoir' about the social-minded Chicago bluesman he had admired so much."
Living Blues - p.67
"For 1967's CRUSADE, Mick Taylor contributed a decidedly West Side Chicago, Buddy Guy/Otis Rush vibe on guitar."
Record Collector (magazine) - p.97
4 stars out of 5 -- "'Driving Sideways' is Taylor's instrumental showcase and, like the rest of the album, it entertains effortlessly."
