A pivotal '60s album. The Butterfield Blues Band's 1965 debut was a life-changing experience for a generation of young blues players; this follow-up, while not quite as epochal, can still be credited with influencing just about every underground band then percolating in San Francisco.

In fact, the album's title track is an epic 13-minute modal jam that is an obvious template for what the Airplane, the Dead, Quicksilver, and the rest would be doing a year later. The remainder of the album is more traditional, save for a radical deconstruction of Monkee Mike Nesmith's "Mary Mary" (if this was a bid for a hit single, they were kidding themselves), and there are sensational performances in abundance, including a deeply-felt rendering of the blues classic "Got a Mind to Give Up Livin'."

Includes liner notes by Paul Nelson.

Mojo (Publisher) (p.70) - "[T]he album still sported tough WindyCity blues...but also delved into jazz improvisation around Nat Adderley's'Work Song,' a master-class in controlled dynamics under Butterfield's bandleading."

Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars One of the best.
Their second album and yet another classic.Paul B B B was one of the first band that included both black and white members and it was a real hit. One of the best cd´s from the 60´s. If you´re a fan of Michael Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop there is a lot of great guitar playing here. Paul B himself blows the harp as good as ever.

4 stars Ultimate Cool Butterfield! Incredible Cover Photo
You're on WOODOP -I agree with you. 'Work Song' is the real blast on this record featuring Butterfield, Bishop and Bloomfield at their most creative best. Also agree that 'got a mind to give up living' may the all time greatest blues song (Jimi H. not withstanding) Even Bishop's vocal takes the band down to a 'calm' level but retains the 'bluesiness' of the album. There are a few unattractive tracks but the above ones make this an undeniable collectable item. Go for it!

5 stars Incredible follow-up to Butterfield's first effort!
Many reviews of this recording focus on the Indian influences and extended solos of East West and Work Song. Personally I think Work Song is fabulous but can take or leave East West. The real gem on this recording is "I've Got A Mind To Give Up Living (And Go Shopping Instead)" - possibly the greatest blues guitar solo ever recorded! Bloomfield was the maestro! Elvin Bishop's solo vocal on this recording is also special. Even the cover art on the first two Butterfield LPs/CDs was classic!

5 stars A true classic
For any young people who want to put together a collection of essential late 60's rock, this album is a must have. I own over 700 CD's and this album, which I've owned since it's release 39 years ago, is still among my very favorites. A great collection of songs performed by some of the best musicians in rock history.
