| | THE PAUL BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) |
 | | In the annals of American blues music history, circa the Sixties, harmonica player Paul Butterfield and guitarist Michael Bloomfield were two of the giants. |
 | | Butterfield and Bloomfield, among others, literally turned white America onto the electric, Chicago-based blues of Muddy Waters, Little Walter, B.B. King and many others, paving the way for those titans to claim just a little of their richly-deserved legacy. |
 | | It was not until the second Butterfield album, "East West," that the band developed its own sound, even straying a bit from the traditional sound of basic electric blues. |
