I got in a huge fight once with my parents while on a trip with them to L.A. when I was 16 - they wouldn't let me drive to see The Electric Flag playing at The Whisky A GoGo, and I was fit to be tied! I always thought Mike Bloomfield was the dean of American blues guitarists, and could soar into the clouds with the likes of Clapton, Page and Beck, as he so admirably proves on this track OMFG! Talk about a super talent, no f'in wonder they called a later recording "SuperSession"!

Like my grandpap says - "This was a good idea gone bad. I give this a grade of B"

Thanks for the fine sounds! Brings back good memories. Not my all time fav' Bloomfield but given the abundance of selections possible, why pick just one? : ) Man - what I love about this tune is that right outta the gate from the word go, Bloomfield's up and on it for the whole tune. Love when he swipes that tone to bass about 2:26, and the tone/volume thing to end the solo - who else ends a solo with a giddyup!? Great tune.

Great!

Never heard Chris Farlowe then?
I love Jimi (and so did Mike) for his unadulterated soul but Michael was the minimalist Tone Monster! All you young guitarslingers pay attention. There are several spots that sound like wah-wah. Not only wasn't it auto-wah, it wasn't even foot pedal..just a Les Paul, fingers, right strings and a tube amp,probably an old tweed Fender, with that natural compression and tone controls following Volume. Yeah!
