Numbered, Limited Edition! Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio!

In the early '60s, the prevailing wisdom was that the blues was a music based on the shared experience of African Americans. In 1965, Paul Butterfield broke that color barrier. the Butterfield Blues Band debut album became an instant favorite among blues aficionados. Rolling Stone Magazine includes the recording among the 500 greatest albums of all time. Downbeat magazine ranks the album at #11 on the list of Greatest Blues Albums.

Butterfield teamed up with guitarists Elvin Bishop and Mike Bloomfield, added Mark Naftalin on organ and hi-jacked Jerome Arnold on bass and Sam Lay on drums from Howlin' Wolf's band. The music that pours from this album is unfiltered, clamored, and let loose, like blues music is supposed to be and played with an intensity and pure passion in every bent note. In front of all these instruments is Butterfield's harmonica, beautifully dictating a mood and a genuine feel that set the standard for harmonica-blowing vocalists.

The album features a mix of folk, rock, psychedelia, and even Indian classical music played over an embedded base of good old Chicago blues. Each song captures the essence of "Authentic Chicago Blues" in a different way, from the back-alley feel of "Born In Chicago" to the melting ease of Willie Dixon's "Mellow Down Easy" to the authentic devotion that emanates from Bishop and Butterfield's 'Our Love Is Drifting". "Shake Your Money Maker", "Blues With a Feeling", and "I Got My Mojo Working" (with Lay on vocals) are equally moving pieces.
