Blues Jam In Chicago Vol. 1 & 2 was the result of a recording session with Fleetwood Mac in early 1969 at Chess Records in Chicago, home to Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, amongst others. Then a young British blues band, Peter Green, John McVie, guitarists Danny Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer and Mick Fleetwood jammed with a number of famous Chicago Blues artists from whom they drew inspiration.
But John McVie's story begins long before such success... Blues breaker. In 1963, John McVie joined John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, a band widely credited as being responsible for the birth of electric British blues. Many Bluesbreakers went on to become blues stalwarts, people like: Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Jack Bruce, and Andy Fraser.

John McVie spent nearly five years in the Bluesbreakers, and aside from being fired (but always rehired) several times for 'excessive drinking,' he was by far Mayall's longest serving sideman. In 1967, after Eric Clapton left the Bluesbreakers for a brief while, Mayall hired a persistent and talented young guitarist named Peter Green, as well as a new drummer by the name of Mick Fleetwood.
