Paul Butterfield Blues Band

These boys, hailing from Chi-town, are a great late 20th century blues band. I really dig there gritty, intense sound. I have a lot of their music to sort through, a whole 2 disc set, but I am looking forward to spending some time doing homework and rockin' out to some good old Chicago blues. Paul's band was known as one of the best blues ensembles around, and several of the musicians are featured on other great recordings.

As for Butterfield himself, he is considered a fantastic harp player, even though his style was quite unorthodox. He used to hold his Harmonica upside down. Well, I can't think of much more to tell you, but the music speaks loud enough.
