The Paul Butterfield Blues Band is arguably the finest example of raw blues essence. With white harmonica player Butterfield at the center, the racially integrated group started as one of the first authentic and genuine blues combos. They were the real deal — they paved the way for the upcoming blues music movement in a time when hit charts were still separated by color of skin. And more to their credit: They single-handedly helped introduce more white listeners to the band’s influences, such as Muddy Waters and B.B. King.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eReleased: 8\/6\/13\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43755835359291,"sku":"8718469533176","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/0665\/3499\/files\/Paul-Butterfield-Blues-Band-cover.jpg?v=1783431922","url":"https:\/\/www.deafmanvinyl.com\/products\/paul-butterfield-blues-band-the-paul-butterfield-blues-band","provider":"Deaf Man Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
