Synopsis

Album Details
Digitally Remastered Edition of Two Classic LPs Combined in a Deluxe Double CD Package. Paul Butterfield's Third and Fourth Albums Are Paired Up on this Wonderful Set. For the Third Album, 'the Resurrection of Pigboy Cranshaw', Butterfield Added a Horn Section and the Direction of the Group Started to Veer Away from Straight Chicago-style Blues Toward a Sound More Influenced by R&b. By this Time, Mike Bloomfield Had Left the Group and Elvin Bishop (Aka Pigboy Crabshaw) Took Over on Lead Guitar. A Lot of Great R&b-inflected Blues Tunes Are on Here Here, Like "Driftin' and Driftin" and Albert King's "Born under a Bad Sign". On the Fourth Album "in My Own Dream", the Covers Are Toned Down in Favour of Original Material, but Still with the Same Blues/R&b Feel. This Deluxe Package features Original and Brand-new Liner Notes plus Stunning Rarely-seen Photos and Contemporary Ephemera.
 

CD Reviews

Fantastic Reissue
Mary Ann Ward | Idaho Falls, Idaho | 04/08/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I will never regret buying this CD. The quality is incredible. I don't know how it compares to the domestic versions of the two CD's, but I am thrilled with its clarity, its quality, its packaging. My only regret is not enjoying Paul Butterfield's music in the 60's when I was a teen, a time when I purchased and listened to the trendy things that I believed--and some critics also believed--were the "cutting edge." I don't profess to be some sort of authority on the blues, but I know what I like, and I love this CD."
Hope this lives up to its promise

"The first set in this series (the first two Butterfield albums) were fantastic recordings, cleaned up, high fidelity versions far superior to earlier CD releases of those albums. You could clearly hear all instruments, particularly the keyboards and fine separation of Elvin Bishop's and Mike Bloomfield's guitars. This second two/fer holds much promise. Although lesser known than the first incarnation of the Butterfield band, this group, along with Bloomfield's Electric Flag and Al Kooper's BS&T, were watershed albums in the "horns & blues rock" movement (an event which is not fully appreciated 40 odd years later). If the quality of this recording matches volume 1 in this set, by all means sell your previous copies of the CDs and purchase it. Mine is on order and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a delightful aural experience!"
