This documentary blog link below joins hand-in-hand perfectly with the music that we attempted to cover above. BC

 Leonard Cohen took years  to craft a song. Rufus, can cover one in an afternoon. Hallelujah. God only needed 3 days for Texas. This tune plows the terra firma of such great bluesmen afore with a great Leon Russell dust bowl homage  sewn in..... David Conover

AT THE END OF February 1967, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band returned to Boston for the second time in just over a month. The band had been on the road constantly since returning from its first trip abroad, a 30-day whirlwind tour of 28 different venues in England and Scotland in November. Since their arrival back in the States, the Butterfield Band had played New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and numerous places in between. Now they were back in Boston.
They were scheduled to play three colleges in one day – a chilly Saturday, February 25. The shows were to begin at noon with an appearance at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, and the guys had to unload the van and set up the equipment first. Butterfield’s star guitarist, Michael Bloomfield, lost it.
In a state of agitation, the exhausted Bloomfield had been suffering from insomnia for weeks. His was a hyperactive personality under the best of circumstances, and now the band’s non-stop gigging had thrown his system into disarray. He could no longer stand the demands of performing night after night.
He decided he had to quit the band that day.

And Michael Bloomfield was suddenly without a gig.
Bloomfield retreated to his Christopher Street apartment in New York’s Greenwich Village to rest up and think things over.
It wasn’t long before he began to think he should have his own band.
 
Forgotten Flag

Few today recall that there was another rock/horn band – a band that started it all. Or, if they do recall, they don’t recall much about it.
The Electric Flag deserves a better fate.
The creation of Mike Bloomfield, America’s first electric guitar hero, the Electric Flag was a ground-breaker in a numerous ways. In addition to being pop music’s first rock band to include a horn section, it pioneered the use of electronic instruments, blended a variety of musical genres, experimented with sound sampling and was one of the early racially-mixed pop bands. It also had the dubious distinction of being rock’s first “supergroup.”
Because the Flag has been largely ignored by critics since its dissolution in 1968, its story has never really been told in detail. A rock ’n roll rags-to-riches-to-rags tale, the history of Michael Bloomfield’s experiment in American music makes for interesting reading. But it also foreshadows the growth of American pop music away from the narrow confines of its segregated genres and toward an open confluence of styles and cultures. For that reason alone, music lovers – especially American music lovers – should know about the Electric Flag.
