Empty Rooms

Empty Rooms is a studio album by English blues musician John Mayall, released in March 1970 on Polydor.

It is a follow-up to the live album The Turning Point, released earlier in the year with the same musicians: Jon Mark on acoustic guitar, Johnny Almond on saxophones and flute, and Stephen Thompson on bass.

The absence of a drummer leaves the rhythm rather fluid and the resulting sound is unusual, even for a John Mayall album.

The songs, all written by Mayall, mostly addressed his romance with photographer Nancy Throckmorton, a theme he would pursue further on USA Union.

Jon Mark and Johnny Almond would leave the group just after the recording of this album, to form the duo Mark-Almond.
