Product Description
Bloomfield, Bishop and Butterfield knocked down walls between black and white with their strong love of blues and their equally powerful chops. Here are Born in Chicago; Blues with a Feeling; Last Night; Mellow Down Easy , and the rest of their 1965 debut!
Amazon.com
A slew of albums by young white men out of their minds in love with music made by older black men came from both sides of the Atlantic during the mid-1960s, but two records really laid the groundwork for the decade's blues revival--the self-titled releases by John Mayall's Bluesbreakers out of London and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band out of Chicago. Both bands were led by harmonica-blowing vocalists; both featured ascending guitar gods--Eric Clapton with Mayall and Mike Bloomfield with Butterfield. Butterfield's ensemble, however, came of age closer to the roots of the music. The rhythm section heard on the group's 1965 debut was hired away from Howlin' Wolf, and Butterfield, while still in his early 20s when the album shipped, was already a familiar face on the Windy City's club circuit. "Born in Chicago" opens the album on a gritty note that never flags through this 11-track landmark. The slashing duo guitars of Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop and Butterfield's flash harp helped make Muddy Waters fathomable for a new audience and, decades later, it's still easy to understand how. --Steven Stolder

And the hits just kept on coming: Not just one but TWO (Sam Lay and Jerome Arnold) left The Howlin Wolf Band to join Butterfield.
And there's more: In the liner notes I then read Jerome Arnold is/was the brother of rather famed harmonica-singer Billy Boy Arnold. There is plenty of pure blood in these Chicago raised blues with other inspirations from harmonica players Junior Wells and James Cotton (Muddy Waters Band). And Sonny Boy Williamson (Just figured out real name was Rice Miller). So, some nice (small print) liner notes add to this exceptional mid 1960's recording (redone here 1988 Elektra/Asylum) originally produced by Paul Rothchild (Doors - among many others).
Three songs are written by Butterfield and/or the band while the others are strong adaptations or redos from blues legends Willie Dixon to Little Walter Jacobs to, of course, Muddy's "Got My Mojo Workin'". Still not overdone even though it's been done countless times since 60's.
Oh, and I have MY OWN liner notes, well, note for blues buffs: Song 9 on THE PAUL BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND album is "Mystery Train" with (Unknown) songwriting credit. Mystery Train was written by Junior Parker of the "Blue Flames" fame. At least the 80's roots band The Blasters claimed Junior responsible. If wrong blame them.
At $4.99 this was an unbelievable purchase. As was East-West which I also purchased for $4.99. Elvin Bishop on East-West without a doubt proves he was not just the "other" guitar player behind famed/more popular Mike Bloomfield.
Solid blues at ridiculous cheap price. No reason to hesitate if you were even thinking of not buying.
Good packaging, shipped promptly.
