Mike Bloomfield anyone?
A name that I don't think I've seen discussed on here. Any love for MB? Favourite tracks etc?

I have absolutely no idea who he is.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Heard the name before but had no idea who he was or what its all about.
He was a mover and shaker playing guitar in a guitarists era..... plenty of good vids up online, very cool.

Re: Mike Bloomfield anyone?
Oh yes, definitely, worth listening to. He was doing in America what Clapton was doing in England with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers etc.
The first 2 Paul Butterfield Blues Band albums, particularly East-West, are great. As I understand it his solo albums are hit and miss, but I liked Live at the Waldorf.
More bluesy and blues focussed than Clapton.
Sadly a victim and casualty of heroin addiction.

Re: Mike Bloomfield anyone?
I've put up a few posts about him on here, one of my early and largest influences. Also the sole reason I have always wanted a LP.

The shit he did with Dylan is "Rock n roll history". Like A Rolling Stone and all that!

Flick me a text next time you're around my way, I'll keep it aside for you if you think you would read it. I don't need it back

'An American Music Band' is pretty good, cool hearing Bloomfield play in that kind of setting even though unfortunately it was short lived.foal30 wrote:If you like Bolin with Cobham maybe try Electric Flag (Bloomfield w/ Buddy Miles)
