innovative harmonica players of the electric blues
Chicago-originated style. With the release of "The Paul Butterfield
Blues Band," in an instant, the image of blues as "old time music"
was gone. Butterfield's band introduced modern "Chicago-style"
blues to mainstream audiences who went wild for it. It alerted the
music scene to what was coming, taught American rock the blues
and how to play an improvised, extended solo. In addition, beyond
a shadow of a doubt, the root of psychedelic (acid) rock is the
genuine fusion of eastern and western music styles in Butterfield's
East-West.*
