Customer Reviews:

Better Days - great Chicago blues.......2007-01-13

Paul Butterfield has always done a great job; bought this new in LP in 70's, some cleaning scag stole it in 90's; worth spending twice for it

Butterfield's Magnificent Swan Song.......2005-12-31

This record/CD is a true gem. Though there were a few more efforts from Butterfield including the 2nd effort by this line-up, he would never again reach the stellar heights he hit with this record. First the band smokes from every standpoint vocals, solos, and ensemble playing. The rep covers every genre of blues and Better Days nails everyone with verve and authenticity. In addition to Butterfield we are introduced to some of the most talented players who were virtually unheard of at the time. Amos Garret's one of kind guitar playing comes from out of left field with his double string bends and unique phrasing. His solo on "Please Send Me Someone to Love" belongs on the list of top ten guitar solos of ALL time. It brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it. Ronnie Barron and Geogg Muldaur both sing their tails off and Chris Parker and Billy Rich just groove from beginning to end. I cannot recommend this timeless CD enough.

Classic Blues album........2005-09-11

Yes, I'm old enough to call it an album, as I do own the LP that I bought in the 70's, but too many parties and it isn't in the same pristine condition it was 30 years ago. Butterfield rocks and this is the album with my favorite PB tune, Buried Alive in the Blues. Really worth a few late night listens....

The lesser known Butterfield Band, but no less talented.......2003-03-06

Most of those who will read this are already aware of the late Paul Butterfield's ability on harp,vocals,and band-leading, but perhaps some don't know as much about the other band members: Amos Garrett is a true wizard-guitarist, bending and sliding multiple strings into perfectly in-tune moving chords ,(usually only playable by two guitarists together), without devices. . Some readers will better remember him as the solist on 'Midnight At The Oasis' by Maria Muldaur,(formerly married to Jeff).The late Ronnie Barron, on piano and vocals, was a contemporary of Mac Rebenak,(Dr.John). There's a legend that Mac originally was going produce Ronnie as Doctor John,before deciding to do it himself. The truth of this rumor doesn't matter, what does is how believable it is after hearing Ronnie Barron. Chris Parker has been a major session drummer ever since this recording, perhaps best known from the 'Saturday Night Live' band. With all of their individual talent, they play as a cohesive unit, musically, more so than the original band, (which depended more on hot solos).

It'll do!.......2000-05-23

This is one of my most favorite non-acoustic blues albums ever. The cover of Walkin' Blues is such a rocker! Amos Garret's guitar playing is unique. But the real treat is Butterfield's harp playing. I've always thought he belonged to the Count Basie school of playing: you don't need to play so many notes if you know exactly the right notes to play. I just wish that the CD came with that big harmonica poster that came in the album. An ex-girlfriend got that years ago.
