Michael Bloomfield - Best of Mike Bloomfield - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Enjoy Mike Bloomfield's greatest hits straight from the studio and some live!

Barrelhouse Chuck¹s blues piano playing is filled with soul, high energy, and low down greasy blues. His loyalty to carry on the works of legendary players, like his mentors Little Brother Montgomery and Sunnyland Slim, contribute to his style. This disc also includes three duets with Erwin Helfer, another Chicago blues piano master. Erwin and Chuck¹s duets are spontaneous and thrilling like a live performance. Barrelhouse Chuck is keeping the blues piano tradition alive and has earned his own place among the masters. Fabulous. 2005.

Mike Bloomfield was one of the great and unique artists of our era. Considered by millions to be America's answer to Eric Clapton, his effect on both musicians and the public alike has been no less. A master guitarist, arranger and writer, Bloomfield has the honor of being responsible for turning many millions of white American teenagers and young adults to authentic black blues music over the years. This album stands as a tribute to one of our great musicians, as Mike performs a selection of original and classic rock and blues material.
