| | Bloomfield was recruited to play slide guitar and piano on early recordings (later released as The Lost Elektra Sessions) which were rejected for not fully capturing the sound of the band. | | | Bloomfield also occasionally helped out friends by lending his name to recording projects and business propositions, such as the ill-fated Electric Flag reunion in 1974 and the KGB album in 1976. | | | Declining an offer from Dylan to join his touring band, Bloomfield and the Butter Band returned to the studio; with the addition of pianist Mark Naftalin they finally captured their live sound on vinyl. |

| | Bloomfield himself left the band he'd formed before their album was even released. | | | In the meantime, Bloomfield was developing an interest in Eastern music, particularly the Indian raga form, and his preoccupation exerted a major influence on the next Butterfield album, 1966's East-West. | | | Later, in 1965, Bloomfield was recruited for Bob Dylan's new electrified backing band; he was a prominent presence on the groundbreaking classic Highway 61 Revisited and he was also part of Dylan's epochal plugged-in performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. |

| | In late 1964, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band was discovered by producer Paul Rothchild, and after adding lead guitarist Michael Bloomfield, they signed to Elektra and recorded several sessions for a debut album, the results of which were later scrapped. | | | A song from their aborted first session, the Nick Gravenites-penned "Born in Chicago," was included on the Elektra sampler Folksong '65 and created a strong buzz about the band. | | | As members of that band -- which included Michael Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop -- drifted away, the overall impact of Butterfield's music lessened, even if his amplified harp playing was still beyond reproach. |

| | MICHAEL BLOOMFIELD |
| | Bloomfield, as lead guitarist, helped distill the groundbreaking sound of the band’s first two LP releases, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band (Elektra 7294; 1965) and East-West (Elektra 7315; 1966). | | | Although his later solo recordings remain relatively unknown to rank-and-file pop music enthusiasts, he can also be heard on a wide range of classic albums that helped define the emergence of progressive rock. | | | Earlier that year, Bloomfield had also played lead guitar on Dylan’s critically acclaimed, Highway 61 Revisited (Columbia 9189; 1965), which featured the hit single, "Like a Rolling Stone" (Columbia 43346; 1965; #2). |

| | The Electric Flag was the brainchild of guitarist Michael Bloomfield, who had made his name in 1965-66 as a member of The Paul Butterfield Blues Band as well as playing on some of Bob Dylan’s more notable records. | | | By 1969 The Electric Flag was history, though they were briefly resurrected by Bloomfield, Goldberg, and Gravenites in 1974, for a single album and a follow-up tour. | | | Before the group could build any momentum off of the album and the reviews, however, the band began falling apart—with so many different musical influences, striking a balance of personalities and interests was essential, and that had been lost in the year they’d spent together. |

| | Michael Bloomfield Book Review |
| | Apparently Bloomfield wanted no part of it, and he more or less withdrew from the scene, surfacing from time to time with miscellaneous neighborhood groups to do sporadic album projects. | | | On "King Pin" Bloomfield experimented with overdubbing a lead solo on top of a rudimentary bass riff, his guitar is better than the vocals by some distance. | | | With their second album, EAST-WEST, the Butterfield Band became a hot ticket on the psychedelic ballroom circuit, doing a heady mix of blues/jazz/raga based instrumentals that fit just fine into the chemical journeys their listeners were embarking on. |

| | Gravenites, Goldberg and Bloomfield took Butterfield's adventures with brass to new limits with their new Electric Flag, billed as "an American music band." It was the perfect description. | | | Gravenites, keyboardist Barry Goldberg and guitarist Harvey Mandel (Canned Heat) are at the creative center of the new band, which also includes original Butterfield drummer Sam Lay, Siegel-Schwall Band harpist Corky Siegel and Mother Earth vocalist Tracy Nelson, backed by guitarist R. Zach Wagner, bassist Rick Reed and drummer Gary Mallaber. | | | Bloomfield buzzed, drummer Buddy Miles thumped, Randy Brecker and his fellow horn men wailed, everybody had ample solo time, they debuted live at Monterrey Pop. |

| | At the 1965 Newport Folk Festival,Bloomfield was in Bob Dylan's backup band...Dylan's first amplified concert ever...but it was the set by Butterfield's band that astounded the crowd the most and sounded the death knell for the folk music era and ushered in the age of amplification and rock. | | | Around 1965,the group expanded to include a young blues devotee and musical scholar,lead guitarist Michael Bloomfield. | | | In the early 60's,the Paul Butterfield Blues Band was formed. |

| | The late guitarist Michael Bloomfield and harmonica player Paul Butterfield are honorary members of the band, their spirits channeled on record and on stage. | | | But on the tour bus with him is a veritable "Who''s Who" of white musicians and singers, who, as teenagers, were smitten by the blues and made it their life''s work: Guitarist Harvey Mandel, harmonica player Corky Siegel, singer-guitarist Nick Gravenites (who wrote "Born in Chicago") and singer Tracy Nelson. | | | As underage, blues-crazed kids, Goldberg and friends often disobeyed their parents, sneaking into black clubs on the south and west sides of Chicago to listen and learn from, and eventually sit-in with, the music''s forefathers: Muddy Waters, Howlin'' Wolf, Little Walter, B.B. King and others. |

| | Lead guitarist Michael Bloomfield, who died in 1981, has been the beneficiary of a recent biography and two CD releases this year, but he still isn't held in the kind of esteem that he enjoyed at his peak. | | | With Bloomfield added to the lineup by the producer trying to put together the band's debut album for Elektra Records, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band made history backing Bob Dylan in his first electric rock performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. | | | With the LSD-inspired raga "East West," the 13-minute title track of the band's second album, Butterfield, Bloomfield and Bishop had demonstrated the power of improvisation in the new electric rock. |

| | The group, an extension of Michael Bloomfield and Barry Goldberg's interests in blues, only lasted together in its original line-up for about a year, and a big chunk of that time was spent recording the only album ever released by the original band. | | | Brooks played on Mama Cass's 1968 solo album, and also on some of the Doors' more elaborate sessions (for which Ray Manzarek's keyboard bass was judged inadequate), including the Soft Parade album, and was very visible on the Michael Bloomfield/Al Kooper Supersession album, one of the iconic records in late 1960's rock music. | | | Even casual listeners became very familiar with his name, and from the 1970's into the mid-1990's, Brooks was one of the busiest bassists in music, working with such varied artists as John Martyn, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Seals & Crofts, John Sebastian, Loudon Wainwright III, John Cale, the Fabulous Rhinstones, and Paul Burlison. |

| | No harmonica on John's recordings, but he has been a great influence and inspiration on my harmonica and guitar playing, and I also am working on playing his songs and fiddle tune compositions on solo harmonica and solo guitar. | | | I have been very inspired and influenced by this band which includes three great musicians: accordionist Marc Savoy (he builds them himself at the Savoy Music Center in Eunice, Louisiana) fiddler Michael Doucet (who also leads the great Cajun band, Beausoleil, who have many recordings on Arhoolie and other labels) and rhythm guitarist/vocalist/author/archivist Ann Savoy. | | | There are many other albums featuring Marc Savoy's great accordion playing, and also many albums featuring Michael Doucet's great fiddle playing including with the Cajun band Beausoleil, on Arhoolie Records. |

| | Jewhoo! - "News & Notes" |
| | Because Bloomfield was under contract to a different record company, (Columbia), his name and photo did not appear on the album cover. | | | Chicago-born Goldberg was so proud, in fact, he even released a blues album in 1969 with Bloomfield called 2 Jews Blues. | | | Singer-songwriter-keyboard player Barry Goldberg and his friend guitarist Michael Bloomfield, of Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Electric Flag fame (and Dylan sidemen on some of his most legendary work), out of sheer pride would not change their names. |

| | Review - Muddy Waters: Fathers And Sons |
| | Harp-meister Paul Butterfield himself, guitarist Michael Bloomfield and drummer Sam Lay were joined by Donald "Duck" Dunn, bassist for the MGs and the bottom end on countless Stax/Volt soul sessions. | | | This group assembled in the studio and prepared ten tracks for release, which are supplemented here by four previously unreleased cuts from the same sessions. | | | Fathers And Sons put Waters and his longtime keyboardist Otis Spann together with three members of the best young blues band Chicago produced in the sixties, the Butterfield Blues Band. |
