King, Bo Diddley, The Allman Brothers Band, Freddie King, Big Brother And The Holding Company (featuring Janis Joplin), Etta James, The Electric Flag, Buddy Guy, Ry Cooder, Magic Sam Blues Band, Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band, Ike And Tina Turner and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes blues classics such as Howlin’ Wolf’s ‘Killing Floor’, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band’s ‘Born In Chicago’ (in a rare early version from the ‘Folksong 65’ Elektra compilation), Etta James’ ‘I’d Rather Go Blind’, Slim Harpo’s ‘Baby Scratch My Back’ and B.B. King’s ‘The Thrill Is Gone’. Mastering is by Grammy-nominated archivist\/producer Alec Palao.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mid to late 60s was a period of change for blues music, with full amplification the only way to have a chance of an R\u0026amp;B hit. A band needed an electric guitar, drums and often a harmonica played through an amp for a deliberately distorted effect. The concept of the blues guitar hero came into effect with artists whose dexterity encapsulated their appeal. After B.B. King came Buddy Guy (playing here on his own and as part of Junior Wells’ Chicago Blues Band), Otis Rush, Freddie King and increasingly influential white guitarists such as Duane Allman (who plays with Wilson Pickett and Johnny Jenkins as well as The Allman Brothers Band), Mike Bloomfield (included here with The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, The Electric Flag and with Al Kooper) and Ry Cooder (here with Captain Beefheart and solo).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoul artists including Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin and Johnnie Taylor paid tribute to soul’s blues roots and as America’s black youth increasingly preferred the sound of Motown, white youth adopted the blues, discovered through English bands such as The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds and later Cream and Led Zeppelin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUS bands such as Canned Heat were completely immersed in the blues, others used it as a base for improvisation and psychedelic blues bands including Big Brother And The Holding Company and The Electric Flag (who featured horns) evolved mixing blues with soul and rock, the latter turning Howlin’ Wolf’s ‘Killing Floor’ into an anti-Vietnam protest, as the hippy counterculture embraced the blues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACK LISTING\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC ONE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1  HOWLIN’ WOLF Killing Floor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2  BO DIDDLEY 500% More Man\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3  SLIM HARPO Baby Scratch My Back\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4  THE PAUL BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND Born In Chicago (Folksong 65 version)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5  JUNIOR WELLS’ CHICAGO BLUES BAND Snatch It Back And Hold It\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6  OTIS REDDING Rock Me Baby\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7  BUDDY GUY Leave My Girl Alone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8  THE LOVIN’ SPOONFUL Night Owl Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9  DION Spoonful\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10  THE EVERLEY BROTHERS My Babe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11  BOOKER T. \u0026amp; THE MG’S Plum Nellie\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12  JOHN LEE HOOKER One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e13 THE SHADOWS OF KNIGHT Light Bulb Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14  ALBERT COLLINS Sno Cone (Part II)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e15  JOHNNIE TAYLOR I Had A Dream\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e16  THE CHARLATANS 32-20\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e17  JOHN HAMMOND I Wish You Would\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e18  SLIM HARPO Shake Your Hips\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e19  CAPTAIN BEEFHEART \u0026amp; HIS MAGIC BAND Sure ’Nuff ’N Yes, I Do\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20  CANNED HEAT Rollin’ And Tumblin’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e21  THE BLUES PROJECT I Can’t Keep From Crying Sometimes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e22  B.B.
