Paul Butterfield LIVE
My pleasure JB,
Don't forget to use the "Amazing Slow Downer" to pick up on all the tricky nuances.

Hey JB,
Ah ... the two songs off the legendary "The Butterfield Blues Band LIVE" album, recorded at the Troubador in Los Angeles in 1970, produced by Todd Rundgren (think "Hello Its Me" fame). "Everything ... and Driftin', in my opinion are the two tracks that features Butter's best examples of his ferocious and innovative harmonica playing. I still get goose pimples when I listen to this album!
"Everything Gonna Be Alright" was performed in Band Key G and Harmonica Key C.
"Driftin' and Driftin' " was performed in Band Key Bb (or was it Bbm? I'll check it out) and Harmonica Key Eb. Remember, if you don't nail that 3 half step bend (Db), it will sound like Ol' Susanna ;o)
