The band's third album finds guitar hero Mike Bloomfield MIA and replaced by a horn section including the very young David Sanborn. (Ironically, Bloomfield departed to start his own horn band, the ill-fated Electric Flag). Stylistically, the band was inching away from blues purism, and moving toward jazz and r&b, particularly of the Stax-Volt variety, as witness the idiomatic cover of Albert King's "Born Under a Bad Sign." (The band must have been listening to Motown as well, hence the thoroughly rocked-out re-arrangement of Marvin Gaye's "One More Heartache,") The album title, incidentally, refers to an alias of remaining guitarist Elvin Bishop, who gets plenty of room to work out here, particularly on "Driftin and Driftin'".

Paul at his Best Best ever Butterfield Album. No Bloomfield but this is made up for with great guitar from Bishop and great overall sound from the band. Submitted by noiseandsound (Sydney, Australia) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 2 of 2 found this helpful.

Butterfield's Best No. 1 Even after the first two blockbuster albums. 'Pigboy' remains the classic. Bishop cranks his Gibson through his Fender amp and defines 'blues' cool sounds that create the band's wall of sound (forget Phil S.). Butterfield's harp just gets better and better here e.g. Check out 'driftin and driftin' and every tune exploits it. Phil Wilson, the drummer of Paul's band is probably the most criminally ignored musician that worked in this band. He pumps and prods this 'horn' band with in your face sounds that have to be heard. Check out 'Drivin' Wheel' a kickin tune that should have gone on for at least another five minutes. Gene Dinwiddie, David Sanborn, Keith Johnson et al bring this band up to a new level which had not been reached before. Blues, jazz, even folk eminate from this album. A 'killer' album from a band that was still growing and exploring. Forty years later it is still a classic. Submitted by dgwg2001 (Cornflake, Canada) Was This Review Helpful?
