Nice read on Michael Bloomfield, if you are familiar with his musical history... or heard his name and wondered who in the hell is this guy.

         Thanks for the post.  I have always loved his sound.  More guitar, less fuzz.  He seemed to stay "under appreciated" during is living years.  Here are two of my favorites.  The second one is very short but has a great sound to it.

More than that, you need the material.  Millions of people can sing and play but without the material, you will only get so far.

Introversion and drugs of the 60s didn’t help his problems

Who else would you put in this category? If I had to pick anyone it would be John Cipollina. QMS never had commercial success but was a very excellent band. He died at age 45 so who knows what "could have" happened.

 

The majority of commercial music sucks anyways. 

 

I put on Highway 61 in the car this morning... for nostalgia's sake.

Strange but true... back in the LP heyday I used to see this in the bargain bins all of the time.

            In 69? this was one of my nightly go to albums along with "A Long Time Coming" and BST's "A Child is the Father to the Man."  Throw in a little Blues Project "Projections" once in a while and I could call it a night.   Threads like these are good at refreshing one's memory.  It has been a while since I listened to "Projections."   I'll have to dig it out.

Always thought it was cool that Al Kooper produced their first album... HIGH school partying days...
