The Band circa 1971 So, I was away on a mission in a parallel universe where (predictably) I couldn't communicate by blog. Sorry about that. These things happen. To the 37 people who told me they were holding candlelight vigils until the Adios Lounge came back, thank you for your support. I can't exactly say what I was doing or with whom I was not doing it with, but that's only because of FBI tampering laws. Let's just agree that today's song is purely coincidental. Rick Danko and Paul Butterfield [...]
One thing I can tell you for sure; if there ever was a fantasy draft of white dudes playing the blues Paul Butterfield is going in the first round.
Elvin Bishop is still raisin' hell and liking it.
Paul Butterfield and Garth Hudson guest on this rockabilly take on a Little Walter classic from the man who put The Band together to begin with.
B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Paul Butterfield, Albert King - « The Sky Is Crying » Via Bonjour Blues , qui en est à 181 morceaux de blues en autant de jours, une vidéo qui vaut le détour puisqu'elle rassemble B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Paul Butterfield (harmonica) et Albert King, soit quatre des plus importants bluesmen de tous les temps, sur une reprise de Elmore James, « The Sky Is Crying ». Ce concert date du 15 avril 1987, difficile de croire que Paul Butterfield décédait moins d'un mois plus tard, le [...]

Editor's Note: We are expanding this feature for this week only, to help call attention to Record Store Day on Saturday. Independent record stores are dying on the vine, go out on Saturday and show 'em that you love them by purchasing some vinyl. Today we travel about 1,500 miles to the hamlet of Woodstock, New York, comfortably situated in the rustic Hudson Valley north of the Big Apple. Now this isn't the place where the big Woodstock festival took place (that was [...]
Filed under: Exclusive , R.I.P. , Canada Susan Parkou Weinstein is a Boston-based journalist. Originally from Montreal, she became friends with Kate and Anna when the McGarrigle Sisters were still students and just starting their folk career.

I first met Kate McGarrigle in the ladies room of a science building at McGill [...]
Seasons greetings to all. It's been a while... but I've decided that there might be some life in the mp3 free download and obscure chat formula still - maybe a concentrated look at a track or two could still be interesting in this age of mass album downloads - well, before they shut us all down, or try to... I live in the hope that the Internet can resist the fools and thieves - i.e. politicians - and their attempts at policing the Anarchosphere... To the music: here comes the Taildragger – the mighty Howling Wolf performing [...]

Paul Butterfield dong "The Wandering Kind". Legendary Paul Butterfield Rides Again
Over at My MOG , a brief post on Long John Baldry led to a conversation amongst some music heads about all variances of blues rock in the 1970's. From Baldry to Butterfield to Michael Bloomfield , of whom I have a small bit of knowledge. Somewhere in my collection, I have a compilation that Columbia released with cuts that Bloomfield did with a number of artists. My favorite from the group is Stop! , a tune that I'm hoping to track down. In the meantime, here's a big [...]
After a few weeks of reports on snow and Christmas and new dogs, it's time to get back to business. Look for a new set in my ongoing Classic Recording Studios series over the next few days along with a new series on drummers. I'll be taking the Great Session Drummers series and expanding it to cover bangers who played for just a few bands. I'll also be expanding into jazz and blues, inspired by some great stuff I've borrowed from the library lately. In the meantime, you can never go wrong with Butterfield. [...]
Hey... Wanna take a walk down memory lane? Well at least mine, in case you weren't alive 20 years ago, Run DMC & Aerosmith teamed up to do a remake (for newbie's that's a kind of precursor to the mash up, where you actually get permission), of Aerosmith's 1974 hit Walk This Way. Well they're doing it again, on Hard Rock's Ambassadors of Rock Tour – hitting spots like London's Hyde Park this summer. Here's Daryl McDaniels aka DMC to you, perform "Walk This Way." Check out some video from a recent [...]
