Our Take

Paul Butterfield's live album from 1970, recorded in the Big Apple, is a melting pot of blues, rock, and soul that is as gritty and satisfying as a New York slice at 3am. Butterfield, a harmonica virtuoso, leads his band through a set that is both raw and electrifying, with each note dripping with soul and emotion.

The opening track, "Born in Chicago," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its infectious groove and searing guitar solos. Butterfield's vocals are soulful and powerful, drawing you in like a moth to a flame. The band is firing on all cylinders, with each member bringing their A-game to the performance.

Throughout the album, Butterfield and his band effortlessly blend blues and rock, creating a sound that is uniquely their own. Tracks like "Driftin' and Driftin'" and "Shake Your Money Maker" showcase the band's tight musicianship and Butterfield's incredible harmonica skills.

Overall, Paul Butterfield's Live in New York 1970 is a must-listen for any fan of blues or rock music. It captures the energy and passion of a live performance in a way that few albums can. So grab a cold one, turn up the volume, and let the music wash over you like a New York City subway train. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Paul Butterfield

Paul Butterfield was a harmonica-playing virtuoso who brought the blues to a whole new audience in the 1960s. Born in Chicago in 1942, Butterfield quickly made a name for himself on the city's blues scene, playing with legends like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. Butterfield formed his own band, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, in 1963, and they quickly became known for their electrifying live performances and innovative fusion of blues and rock. With Butterfield's soulful vocals and searing harmonica work, the band's sound was unlike anything else at the time. Their debut album, released in 1965, was a critical and commercial success, showcasing Butterfield's raw talent and the band's tight musicianship. Tracks like "Born in Chicago" and "Shake Your Money Maker" became instant classics, solidifying Butterfield's place in the pantheon of blues greats. Butterfield continued to push boundaries throughout his career, collaborating with artists from a wide range of genres and experimenting with new sounds and styles. His influence can be heard in the work of countless musicians, from The Allman Brothers to Eric Clapton. Sadly, Butterfield's life was cut short in 1987, but his legacy lives on through his timeless music. With his unmatched talent and trailblazing spirit, Paul Butterfield will forever be remembered as a true pioneer of the blues.
