Named one of the world's great blues-rock guitarists by Rolling
Stone, Mike Bloomfield (1943-1981) remains beloved by fans forty
years after his untimely death. Taking readers backstage, onstage,
and into the recording studio with this legendary virtuoso, David
Dann tells the riveting stories behind Bloomfield's work in the
seminal Paul Butterfield Blues Band and the mesmerizing Electric
Flag, as well as on the Super Session album with Al Kooper and
Stephen Stills, Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited, and soundtrack
work with Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson. In vivid chapters drawn
from meticulous research, including more than seventy interviews
with the musician's friends, relatives, and band members, music
historian David Dann brings to life Bloomfield's worlds, from his
comfortable upbringing in a Jewish family on Chicago's North Shore
to the gritty taverns and raucous nightclubs where this self-taught
guitarist helped transform the sound of contemporary blues and rock
music. With scenes that are as electrifying as Bloomfield's solos,
this is the story of a life lived at full volume.
