Product Description One of the greatest guitar albums of all time and a real \'60s classic, with Elvin Bishop and Mike Bloomfield trading licks on the mind-bending title cut in particular. Amazon.com If the Butterfield Blues Band\'s groundbreaking debut earned the respect of the group\'s elder influences, this one won over (and guided) the blues boys\' psychedelic peers. Highlighted by the 13-minute-plus title track (an Eastern-influenced jam cowritten by guitarist Mike Bloomfield), East-West stretches the boundaries of the blues. It would prod many lesser groups to explore, with generally dreary results, interminable free-flight explorations. But while East-West and a cover of jazzman Cannonball Adderly\'s "Work Song" ventured in new directions, Paul Butterfield and company remained rooted in solid Chicago blues. East West presents the best of both worlds. --Steve Stolder Review Wielding a harmonica honed under the supervision of South Side masters, Paul Butterfield popularized electric Chicago blues in the mid 1960s with a seemingly effortless ability to capture the spirit of Little Walter and Muddy Waters without copying their exact wording. The Butterfield Blues Band\'s second album, East-West (1966), is less hidebound stylistically than their eponymous first album and uses modern jazz and Indian music forms that encourage extended improvisations by the harmonica traditionalist and his superb blues rock guitarists Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop. The thirteen-minute title track is the showpiece. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993 -- From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD See more
