Thank you for this fabulous article on one of my most favorite blues bands ever!!! I wore out both their first and second albums. I believe I still have those lps. While I know many great harp players past and present abound, my two favorites continue to be Butterfield and Little Walter. I had to come back to say that both Butterfield and Little Walter were awesome vocalists as well! Especially Butterfield of course!!

thanks for this appreciation, Bret. gotta give it up to Nick Gravenities, too, for writing “Born in Chicago” — and besides Pigboy Cranshaw, Butterfield was also an innovator of In My Own Dreams.
