This is pure Genius, such a substantial sound, one of his best CD's.

THE BLUES ALBUM!

| I have loved this record since the first time I listened to it oh so many years ago. This is, in my opinion, the best blues record ever recorded and that's saying alot. All of the songs hit the bullseye. "Driftin' and Driftin'", "Born Under A Bad Sign", "Tollin' Bells", and all of the rest were truly inspired renditions of these songs. I appreciate all of the previous and latter Paul Butterfield Blues Band recordings but "The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw" is their zenith. Do yourself a favor and get this fantastic recording. |

'Pigboy' is the killer Butterfield Album

| From Kim Whitesides colourful images to the blistering music inside this cd. This is the best of the Butterfield band during that tumultous period between its 'start' in 1965 to the late 1967 period. This album cooks with driving tunes such as 'Drivin Wheel', 'Driftin' and Driftin' and Born under a Bad Sign. After the departure of Mike Bloomfield Elvin Bishop kicks this band up several notches. His stinging solos and dynamic rhythmic interplay with other band members including drummer Phillip Wilson make this a hands down success. Phil Wilson here pumps one beat after another into this creative ensemble. He is worth the ticket alone. Sadly this wonderful musician was murdered in the 1990's. Butterfield's singing catapaults this band into 4th gear. This is the blues as it was meant to be played. Tollin' Bells is the sad and lonely blues harp wailing at life's misfortunes. The band sounds fresh and excited about this music and it still burns after several decades. Go get it! |

 YOU'RE BUYING THE WRONG CD!

Yes, this is the great PBBB's 3rd album, but it's not the CD you should be buying.
This domestic CD was released in 1989 and has never been remastered.
The import 2CD version of this title (backed with the PBBB's 4th "In My Own Dream") is the one to get. It was remastered in 2004.
Ditto for "The Paul Butterfield Blues Band" & "East West"; the 2004 import 2CD is also remastered (and sounds incredible) and the domestic CD's are not.
Why WEA and Elektra have not made these four remasters available domestically is a mystery.
Don't waste your money on these inferior versions: Get the imports!

This is my favorite Butterfield album. I do love East-West and the debut album too, but it can't get any better then this. The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw is blues full of soul.
Elvin Bishop shines with his spare, "Claptonish", blues playing. Butterfield sings better then he ever done on any other album and his harp wails as never before. The addition of horns make the songs rich and very soulful. The music is deep rooted in the southern blues and soul of America.
Put on the opening number, One More Heartache, turn it up, feel the bass and hear the beat when the handclapping starts, no one can resist tapping their foot, I promise! |
