 Butterfield Blues Band at its best
Submitted on: 2008-09-01 |

| These Electra sessions recordings include almost all of the songs from the original Butterfield Blues Band album and many more. It is a classic. Butterfield and Bloomfield with the rest of the original cast, including Sam Lay on drums. It is just a superb collection of some of the best Chicago blues ever recorded. While there are literally hundreds, maybe thousands, who have recorded songs with the harp, there are only handful who could play the harp as well as Butterfield and, like him, most are no longer with us. He grew up hearing the great players in Chicago but developed his own style, with a tone that sometimes sounded like a trumpet. Both he and Bloomfield possessed musical genius that burned out too young. I have been listening to this album since it was released and still go back to it often. If you want to hear Chicago Blues, buy this one, a Howling Wolf anthology, a Muddy Waters anthology, and Westside Blues by Magic Sam and you pretty much have the best of what there is to hear. |

 Paul Butterfield Blues Band

My grandson who,s 17 is lead guitar in a high school rock combo, and we talked about simultaneous pulsating energy and virtuoso parts for the singer and lead guitar together. I started thinking about 1965-66 in Chicago and recalled the Butterfield band as what I wanted him to hear. So I got him a set and got myself a set. Album #1 in the Electra collection was what I had in mind, and he now listens to it everyday, loving it. He's already pretty good, if you will excuse me.
Man, how that man wasted his life later. Sad.
I am keeping this album. La Raw Maran |

For Butterfield and his concept

| You really have to have em' all .All fans have their favorites , and some will be left off a compilation such as this .. You cant please everybody .One thing I noticed there were far more tracks from the 'Lost Electra Sessions' than from say, the classic "Pigboy Crabshaw" album. still ..a great set from ol 'Butters 'He died a sad death ..I encountered him(not pleasantly) 3 months before he went ..lets just remember the great music he played , and ..like I said .. get em all! |

 Not typical of Chicago Blues
Submitted on: 2006-04-07 |

| CD album not what I thought it was....Of course PB plays a mouth harp.....of course, the songs sometimes all sound alike...that is why he's not a ZZ, BB or whatever. One maybe two songs on these 2 cd's I like.....the rest go in file 13. There's nothing wrong with this style of music but it falls far short of Buddy Guy, BB King, Albert King....I am/was relunctant to negative any musician and this is not the case....Many of his good songs are missing and "fillers" placed instead. Unless you are a whipping Paul Butterfield fan, keep looking...... |

| In 1964, the "Beatles" were (and still are) a phenomonon. Everybody knew of them, they had "Beatles" cards for God's sake.Underneath this commercial pop lay "Chicago Blues" here in America. No one and I mean no one did it better than "The Butterfield Blues Band" Mike Bloomfield, Elvin Bishop,guitar players extraordinaire. Paul Butterfield with his amazing harp playing. I'm not a critic or a music reviewer, I just know what I like. And if you love the "Blues" this remaster is absolutely essential. Get it here,enough said. Peace. |
