With a style honed in the gritty blues bars of Chicago's south side, the Butterfield Blues Band was instrumental in bringing the sound of authentic Chicago blues to a young white audience in the mid-'60s, and although the band wasn't a particularly huge commercial success, its influence has been enduring and pervasive.
The 1968 edition of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band featured a larger ensemble with a horn section, allowing for a jazzier feeling while retaining its Chicago blues core.
They also adopted the psychedelic flower power stance of the era, as evidenced by a few selections, the rather oblique title, and the stunning pastiche art work on the cover.
Butterfield himself was really coming into his own playing harmonica and singing, while his band of keyboardist Mark Naftalin, guitarist Elvin Bishop, drummer Phil Wilson, electric bassist Bugsy Maugh, and the horns featuring young alto saxophonist David Sanborn was as cohesive a unit as you'd find in this time period.
Butterfield's most well known song "One More Heartache" kicks off the album, a definitive blues-rock radio favourite with great harmonica and an infectious beat urged on by the top-notch horns.
The band covers "Born Under a Bad Sign" at a time when Cream also did it -- which one was better? "Driftin' & Driftin'" is another well known tune, and over nine minutes is stretched out with the horns cryin' and sighin', including a definitive solo from Sanborn over the choruses.
There's the Otis Rush tune "Double Trouble," and "Drivin' Wheel" penned by Roosevelt Sykes; Butterfield wrote two tunes, including "Run Out of Time" and the somewhat psychedelic "Tollin' Bells" where Bishop's guitar and Naftalin's slow ringing, resonant keyboard evokes a haunting sound. Overall, great stuff and the best Butterfield album of the period

Clean, unmarked labels with just one or two light spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
Some harmless pressing blemishes to the vinyl surfaces but little else to fault
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT
This barely played copy sounds superb throughout - a touch of low-level surface noted between some of the tracks and one or two clicks - nothing really - a very strong EX - great copy - highly recommended
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Unmarked and undamaged fully glossy sleeve - little edge or spine wear to speak of - some ring evident front and back - nothing major
