The Elektra Years is a 2 cd anthology which features some of the best blues music from the early to late sixites bar none. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band played with Bob Dylan at his first electric performance at Newport in 1965 and at Woodstock in 1969. The band was formed in Chicago by avid blues aficionados Paul Butterfield on harmonica, Elvin Bishop on guitar and the former Howlin' Wolf rhythm section of Jerome Arnold and Sam Lay on bass and drums respectively. Butterfield and Bishop spent most of their time in Chicago bars listening to the blues masters perform live. It was then decided in a groundbreaking move to add a second guitarist and blues fan Mike Bloomfield to the band. The band was one of the first integrated blues/rock bands. The musicianship was uniformly excellent with Bloomfield and Bishop swapping leads inventively. By the time of their second album Lay was replaced on drums by the jazzier Billy Davenport and part-time organist Mark Naftalin joined the band permanently. The music became more jam oriented and the cuts "East West" with its modal soloing and a cover of Cannonball Adderley's "Work Song" provide ample evidence of the ever evolving musicianship of the band. However Bloomfield soon exited to form the horn driven rock band Electric Flag with ex- Jimi Hendrix drummer Buddy Miles. Instead of replacing Bloomfield with another guitarist, Butterfield elected to add a horn section himself and the music became more r& b driven. Among the musicians who joined the horn section was a very young David Sanborn. Eventually Bishop also quit to start a solo career and the band continued with a lower profile. This set contains 5 rare tracks from the band's great early period which were either non-lp singles on were on rare compilation albums. The importance of the band cannot be overstated. It proved that two guitarists could trade solos with keyboards and harmonica in an exciting new way. The band proved that even white musicians could play classic Chicago blues with as much feeling as their African-American counterparts. It also proved that a blues/rock band could be integrated. Not only were Bloomfield and Bishop two great white blues guitarists but Paul Butterfield proved to be one the best white blues harmonica players. The band proved jazz and blues could be fused together to from an exciting combition and if used effectively a horn section could work in a blues/rock/jazz context. The first disk highlights Bloomfield's tenure in the band while the second disk begins with the addition of the horn section. Memorable cuts include "Born In Chicago", "Shake Your Money Maker", "Thank You Mr. Poobah", & "Everything's Gonna Be Alright". I regret that "Screamin'" and "I Got My Mojo Working" were not included from the first album. It also would have been nice to have some live cuts from "Woodstock" but the set is an excellent overview of the band. It is also invaluable because some of the material on the second disk is currently out of print. If you enjoy this set I recommend picking up at the minimum "The Paul Butterfield Blues Band" (first lp), "East West" (2nd lp) and "The Original Lost Elektra Sessions" (unissued tracks with Bloomfield and Bishop).
