Topic: The Electric Flag


  
  Electric Flag
The short-lived but successful, Electric Flag was formed in 1967 by guitarist, Mike Bloomfield after he'd left The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, ostensibly to give original guitarist Elvin Bishop, in Mike's words, "a little space." Undoubtedly he had also become uncomfortable with Paul Butterfield's position as bandleader and was anxious to lead his own band.
There was enough promise on the album to merit further exploration, but it had hardly been released before the Flag began to droop.
Buddy Miles, however, was determined to keep the band together and recorded a second album titled simply, "The Electric Flag".
