Mike Bloomfield - Live At McCabes Guitar Workshop, January 1, 1977 '2017

Tracks list

 Mike Bloomfield was one of the great and unique artists of our era.
Considered by millions to be Americas answer to Eric Clapton, his effect on both
musicians and public alike has been no less. A master guitarist, arranger and
writer, Bloomfield has the honor of being responsible for turning many millions
of white American teenagers and young adults to authentic black blues music over
the years. Bloomfield was born in Chicago and by the time he was a teenager he
was playing guitar in local rock bands. He soon became enamored with the power
and originality of such bluesmen as John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters and Lightnin
Hopkins and became highly proficient as a blues guitarist and also became one of
the most in-demand session musicians in the country. In the mid-1960s Mike
Joined the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, one of the most successful blues groups
of the sixties. Much of the groups success was due to Bloomfields superb guitar
work, and led to his break with Paul to form his own group, The Electric Flag.
The group was quickly signed by Columbia Records and achieved instant super
group success. Both critics and public alike found their fresh approach to both
blues and rock material electrifying, and their influence on most other
musicians cannot be overstated. In spite of great critical and financial
success, the group broke up because of ego problems, After the demise of the
Flag, Bloomfield teamed up with Al Kooper and Steve Stills for the incredibly
successful Super Session, still a staple of most record libraries. Until his
death, Bloomfield continued to record both on his own and with other major
artists He never lost his love of blues, and continued to be one of Americas
most popular blues and rock artists, and one of its most influential, until his
untimely death. This album stands as a tribute to one of our great musicians, as
Mike performs a selection of original and classic rock and blues material. -
