I second that notion, Outstanding blues band. Paul Butterfield can make the Harmonica talk!! I also have a great respect and liking for Elvin Bishop.

Check out Paul Butterfield playing the harmonica! If I am not mistaken this video is of a live show in 1985.

Now THIS kind of harp playing I can handle. Has soul and feel and it's not overdone. The stuff that Blues Traveller was doing in the 90's was like nails on a chalkboard to me. Smililarly, there's a lot of stuff I've heard from both Dylan and Neil Young that totally grates on me.

I put this up on youtube a few weeks ago:



I've always loved the Blues Brothers movie. I'm guessing Akroyd modelled the characters on Mr Butterfield. East West is a classic album.

Peace out from Gateshead UK!
