Harvey Mandel | The Snake (Vinyl Replica Cd) (Rsd 2025) | CD

Harvey Mandel is an American blues rock guitarist known for his innovative approach to electric guitar, born in Detroit, Michigan, on 11 March 1945. He was a professional by the age of twenty and played with Charlie Musselwhite, Canned Heat, The Rolling Stones and John Mayall before starting a solo career. Mandel auditioned for the Rolling Stones after Mick Taylor left in 1974, and his guitar work appears on two songs from the band's 1976 album Black and Blue. He still performs and records.
