THE BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND

EAST TO WEST

Format:Flac



Wielding a harmonica honed under the supervision of South Side masters, Paul Butterfield popularized electric Chicago blues in the mid 1960s with a seemingly effortless ability to capture the spirit of Little Walter and Muddy Waters without copying their exact wording. The Butterfield Blues Band's second album, East-West (1966), is less hidebound stylistically than their eponymous first album and uses modern jazz and Indian music forms that encourage extended improvisations by the harmonica traditionalist and his superb blues rock guitarists Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop. The thirteen-minute title track is the showpiece. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993



1966's East-West, the second album from the Butterfield Blues Band -- and their last with lead guitarist Mike Bloomfield -- found the group branching out from the electric blues and adding elements of modern jazz and the music of India, most notably on the landmark title track, which paved the way for much of the musical experimentation of the late '60s.
