If you've heard all of the early Stones and the one Bluesbreakers album that everyone remembers, you might consider moving on to the Bloomfield era Butterfield Band for a refreshing spell. Be kind to these dust covered old tomes, and break them off the library shelf for a quick breather every century or two!

Where's the reference to him in this comment? He probably deserves a mention, even if his studio career wouldn't really pick up until 1970, though as a live player he was pretty well known (enough for Pete Townshend to hate on his flashiness in interviews at a time when Deep Purple were relatively unknown in the UK, circa early-mid-1968)<br /><br />Not that I agree with your other points. Why should I listen to Robert Johnson's "Crossroads" when there's Cream's version, or Muddy Waters' "Mojo Working" when there's Gallagher's? If PBBB's versions were exactly identical, then there would be an issue, sort of like Fleetwood Mac's "Rambling Pony" which is just "Rollin' and Tumblin'" with new (and indistinguishable) words. Besides, Hendrix and Bloomfield don't exactly have the same style of playing. Would you dismiss a classical guitarist just for not playing like Hendrix or Blackmore?Mr. Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431440474437762706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-52598226960129085072015-11-25T16:52:47.839+03:002015-11-25T16:52:47.839+03:00Why would I listen to PBBB's Born in Chicago w...Why would I listen to PBBB's Born in Chicago when Cream has recorded Crossroads?<br />Why would I listen to PBBB's Mojo Working when Rory Gallagher has recorded version (on BBC-sessions) that totally annihilates it?<br />Just because of Bloomfield being a nice guitarist? In september next year a certain Jimi Hendrix charted in Europe with Hey Joe.MNbnoreply@blogger.com
