The Paul Butterfield Blues Band
The Paul Butterfield Blues Band is arguably the finest example of raw electric blues. With harmonica player Butterfield at the center, the racially integrated group started as one of the first authentic and genuine electric blues combos. They were the real deal - and paved the way for the upcoming blues music movement in an in time when hit charts were still separated by color of skin.
Their first and eponymous album from 1965 contains a mix of electric Chicago style Blues and Rock & Roll: raw, brazen, and powerful, beautifully weaved together by Butterfield's harmonica and scorching vocals. And more to their credit: the Paul Butterfield Blues Band single-handedly helped introduce more white listeners to the band's influences, such as Muddy Waters and B.B. King.
The Paul Butterfield Blues Band is available on audiophile black vinyl.
