This album for me has to be within my Top5 all time favorites... and I do remember seeing Paul Butterfield several times... but I couldn't tell you the years !! I'm fairly certain about seeing this band at least once in Oakland at those "A Day On The Green" concerts Bill Graham used to put on !! Those days were fantastic as far as seeing top name bands all in one place at one time... for about $15 bucks... for at least four bands if I remember correctly !! I bet the BluesBlogger would know what year and the band's members when they played there !! How's that for talking up the Blues Blogger... :) !! Thanks again BB for this great post !!

I have been and will always be a fan of his and his music. I first heard them play live at the Band Shell in Central Park in NY. They were incredible. They played Love March that day. They have left an lndelible impression in my soul ever since. Butterfield is one of the things that kept my heart beating. I have been and will always be a fan of his and his music.

Paul Butterfield has been one of my personal favorites from the very first time I heard him in early 1967. I have most of his material on Vinyl or CD. He's been one of my greatest influences in appreciating the blues. The Resurrection of Pigboy Grabshaw (1968) is still one of my favorite albums and remains for me as joyful today, as it was the first time I played it all those years ago... Cheers Howard.

So very skillfully written. I've already commented on Paul Butterfield, above. The first paragraph had me in a hospital bed contemplating. So very skillfully written.
