T&C Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 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. https://www.loudersound.com/features/mike-bloomfield-tombstone-blues?fbclid=IwAR2d1noRBZ3POPcYBaxoJY2QIg1BXa3cN7VCOnX_oaO2ZHdYyWdoTSdfFKU 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Edited June 17, 2019 by Greybeard 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
