Description
Homespun brings you this live radio broadcast of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Recorded in 1966 at the legendary Fillmore Auditorium, this electrifying performance captures them in full flight--raw, fearless, and reshaping the sound of American blues for a new generation. At a time when the San Francisco scene was just beginning to explode, Butterfield and his powerhouse ensemble brought the fire of Chicago's South Side to the West Coast, bridging worlds with blistering harmonica, searing guitar, and relentless groove.
Fronted by Paul Butterfield's soulful vocals and unmistakable harp, and featuring the twin-guitar brilliance of Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop, this line-up was one of the most formidable in the history of electric blues. Their set burns with intensity, from deep blues workouts like "Born in Chicago" and "Got My Mojo Working" to expansive jams that hint at the improvisational spirit soon to define the late '60s.
More than just a concert, this recording is a snapshot of transformation--the moment when traditional blues met the emerging counterculture head-on. The Fillmore crowd, more accustomed to psychedelic experimentation, was swept away by the band's grit and authenticity.
Remastered from the original radio broadcast, this is both a historic document and a thrilling listen--proof of a band at its creative peak, fusing heart, sweat, and virtuosity into one unforgettable night of American music history.
