Album of the Month - January 2024

East west - the paul butterfield band

Though it's not classically 'rock' or 'classic rock', this album from 1966 freakin' ROCKS with both energy and musical virtuosity.
Critically acclaimed guitarists Elvin Bishop AND Mike Bloomfield on the same album make this record work where often 'all-star' bands fail, from either egos or incompatible talents. Paul Butterfield could possibly be credited for this, but does it matter? 
The record is a serious classic. 
Give'r a listen and God bless your January of 2024.
Cheers,
JJ and The Belmar Guitar Crew
