The Paul Butterfield Blues Band - I Got A Mind To Give Up Living video free download

Lewis Dalven

This is my pick for the most innovative, creative and overwhelmingly emotive blues solo ever put on record. To those who cite Peter Green's performance, all I can say is I love the Brits too, and PG really tears it up, but this shows a whole other dimension to the construction of a blues solo, using minor modalities to build tension and resolve it in perfect symmetry. Bloomer learned from everybody (especially Otis Rush and B.B.), but he brought his own genius. Sadly, his addictions kept him from growing musically from this point, and it was generally downhill from here. B.B's version is fantastic both for his playing and singing...really one of his best, imo.

This is the song and solo that HOOKED me on blues and playing guitar.

If I could name the guitarist that Mike Bloomfield owes the biggest debt to, I'd have to call him Otis Rush.

Man! this one really digs into you. Heard this first in Tucson AZ after returning from the Nam. Found out my girl was running around on me, meanwhile telling me she loved me. I believed it. That's what I like about the Blues. It tries to tell a listener what is going down inside you. But only some fast living dangerous living cured my blues.

Like the part about 'go shopping instead'. LOL

Joel Knoll

I don't understand why people always have to refer to Bloomfield as a 'great WHITE blues guitarist.' What does it have to do with anything? Blues knows no color, no status, no gender, no nationality, no century. All people everywhere get blue from time to time.
