Free Music Notes for Original Lost Elektra Sessions
Free Music Review: Butterfield's Masterwork?! Yet unreleased?!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Listen to the tour de force "Hate to See You Go". Butterfield at his most primal and vicious. He is just so damn excited to be playing harp! The one absolutely essential track on the album, in my opinion, but this is a collection which is filled with gems. Or, perhaps, all the tracks sound about the same. I mean, if you don't like track one, GMLSG, you aren't gonna like this album. Butterfield's timing is distictive, and this means that the full flavor of his music is contained in each bite. In fact, this may betray my OCD, but I have broken most of these cuts apart note by note, for example, the first six notes of GMLSG, (he's using 3 blow, not 2 draw, on the first note, which is what gives this track its hyperactive intensity) I have recorded just this snipet of sound, and listened to it many, many times, sometimes at half-speed, becasue the timing is unique and compelling. Yet, so simple and straightforward. Two god-damn notes, and yet, unutterable. Paul plays like pure poetry. So, I do take issue with your statement "not highly original". While staying true to the tradition, Butterfield injects his own absolutely idiosyncratic timing, and this why I would pay $899, let alone $8.99, for one of my most favorite albums, the ORIGINAL lost elektra sessions.
Note to Butterfield acolytes: If you love this album, you must own "Fathers and Sons", which is Bloomfield, Butterfield, and Muddy Waters, 1969. I think this contains Buttefield's most brilliant playing, and he's a backing man, so, more harp, and Muddy Waters!! Plus, tons of Bloomfield. Sublime.
Also, I just noticed this, while browsing Amazon, but the album covers for Lost Elektra and the debut album both use a two-thirds, one third pictoral split. Cool.

Assembled by producer Paul Rothchild shortly before his death, this really is the band's debut album that they recorded in 1964 yet never released, with only two of the songs appearing on their maiden Paul Butterfield Blues Band release!Blues Music CDs
