Our Take
Our Take
The Paul Butterfield Blues Band's "East-West" is like a slap in the face...in the best possible way. This iconic album, now available on striking blue vinyl, takes listeners on a sonic journey through the highs and lows of the blues, jazz, and rock genres.
From the moment the needle hits the groove, you're transported to a smoky, dimly lit club where the music is as smooth as the whisky flowing at the bar. The title track, "East-West," is a 13-minute masterpiece that showcases Butterfield's virtuoso harmonica skills and the band's tight, improvisational prowess.
But it's not all slow-burning blues jams on this album. Tracks like "Walkin' Blues" and "Work Song" kick things up a notch with their energetic rhythms and dynamic guitar solos that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in no time.
The beauty of "East-West" lies in its ability to effortlessly blend different musical styles and influences into one cohesive, enjoyable listening experience. Whether you're a hardcore blues fan or just dipping your toes into the genre, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression.
So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, dim the lights, and let the Paul Butterfield Blues Band take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.

About the artist
The Paul Butterfield Blues Band
Paul Butterfield Blues Band are the unsung heroes of the blues scene, a group of misfits and geniuses who came together to create something truly magical. Led by the enigmatic Paul Butterfield, the band broke down barriers and redefined what it meant to play the blues. Formed in Chicago in the early 1960s, the band quickly made a name for themselves with their raw, energetic sound and electrifying live performances. With Butterfield's soulful vocals and blistering harmonica playing at the forefront, the band's lineup also featured the legendary Mike Bloomfield on guitar, Mark Naftalin on keyboards, and Jerome Arnold and Sam Lay on rhythm. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1965, is a bona fide classic, showcasing the band's unique blend of traditional blues with a rock and roll attitude. Tracks like "Born in Chicago" and "Shake Your Money Maker" are still as thrilling today as they were over 50 years ago. Over the years, the band's lineup changed, but they continued to push the boundaries of the blues genre, incorporating elements of jazz, psychedelia, and even Indian classical music into their sound. Their fearless experimentation and boundary-pushing approach to music set them apart from their peers and cemented their legacy as one of the most innovative and influential acts of their time. So if you're looking for some soul-stirring, foot-stomping blues with a twist, look no further than the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. With their electrifying energy and unmatched musicianship, they are sure to leave you speechless and begging for more.
