Description
Guitar King Michael Bloomfield's Life in the Blues by David Dann The story of Mike Bloomfield's life is one of electrifying music and vivid storytelling. This biography takes readers backstage, onstage, and into the recording studio with the legendary blues-rock guitarist, bringing to life the worlds he created. From his comfortable upbringing to the gritty taverns and raucous nightclubs where he helped transform the sound of contemporary blues and rock music, Dann's meticulous research reveals the highs and lows of Bloomfield's life. With more than seventy interviews with the musician's friends, relatives, and band members, this book is a riveting account of Bloomfield's work in the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, the Electric Flag, and on the Super Session album with Al Kooper and Stephen Stills, as well as his soundtrack work with Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson. The result is a story of a life lived at full volume.
