A searing blues singer, Paul Butterfield was also arguably the first great blues harmonica player since Little Walter Jacobs of Muddy Waters' '50's bands. But Butterfield was no mere showboat; he was a trailblazer with "big ears," absorbing and incorporating everything from soul to jazz to classical. In the liner notes to this Rhino Handmade release, Butterfield gives his take on the blues:
Blues, to me, is pretty wide range. Roland Kirk plays the blues. Nina Simone sings the blues. Ray Charles. Aretha. And Muddy Waters. Little Milton. And King Pleasure, for that matter. Some people say that certain kinds of musical changes are the blues, or it has to be like Muddy Waters or John Lee Hooker. And some people say you have to have a certain kind of instrumentation to be the blues. But to me that's all bullshit. Complete bullshit. Because to me the blues is any kind of music that has a heavy feeling. . . . These are the same people that are always talking about white music and black music. I can't see that either -- music is a universal thing. It doesn't belong to the black man or the white man.
By the time The Butterfield Blues Band released its groundbreaking 1966 sophomore album, East-West, Butterfield and his integrated band were moving way beyond their Chicago blues roots, laying the groundwork for acid rock with extended jazz workouts and Eastern song structures.
In 1967, inspired by his idol Junior Parker, Butterfield formed a "big band" that featured a Gene Dinwiddie-arranged horn section and by the late '60's included Ralph Walsh (guitar), Rod Hicks (bass), Ted Harris (piano), and George Davidson (drums). Seasoned in blues, jazz, and R&B, the group assembled at L.A.'s Troubadour club in March of 1970 to play the gigs recorded for this release. Sophisticated yet free-ranging, this unclassifiable ensemble proved the perfect backing for Butterfield's "heavy feeling."
In addition to the material from the original 1971 Todd Rundgren-produced double LP, this expanded release contains a second disc of previously unreleased performances from the same series of shows at The Troubadour.
The Butterfield Blues Band Live is available as an individually numbered limited edition of 2,500 copies.
