For many music fans\u2014even those who are relatively well versed in the music of the \u201960s and \u201970s\u2014Bloomfield is simply the guy who played lead guitar when Bob Dylan went electric at the Newport Folk Festival. The fact is, though, that Bloomfield produced a wealth of recorded material during his short lifetime that stands alongside the best blues music made during that time period. Some 33 years after Bloomfield\u2019s death, <i>From His Head to His Heart to His Hands<\/i> (Columbia\/Legacy), an excellent boxed set compiled by Al Kooper, goes a long way toward doing justice to Bloomfield\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n<p>The set, which contains three CDs and one DVD, begins with three songs from Bloomfield\u2019s 1964 audition with Columbia Records\u2019 John Hammond Sr. Accompanied only by a bass, Bloomfield\u2019s lively performance indicates his early mastery of the blues. The feisty \u201cI\u2019ve Got You in the Palm of My Hand\u201d and \u201cI\u2019ve Got My Mojo Workin\u2019\u201d represent Bloomfield\u2019s early recorded work for Columbia, backed by friends from the fertile blues scene in his hometown of Chicago. Bloomfield\u2019s contribution to Dylan\u2019s <i>Highway 61 Revisited<\/i> is recognized via two previously unreleased tracks that will be a treasure to Dylan fans: a revelatory instrumental version of \u201cLike a Rolling Stone\u201d and an alternate version of \u201cTombstone Blues\u201d featuring the Chambers Brothers on backing vocals. Rounding out the first disc is a number of selections from Bloomfield\u2019s two best known bands, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band and The Electric Flag. The former\u2019s \u201cEast-West\u201d features a lengthy and choice display of Bloomfield\u2019s sonic fireworks, while the latter shines with a version of \u201cKilling Floor\u201d that\u2019s equal parts rollicking and scorching.<\/p>\n<p>The second disc consists of material from the Bloomfield\/Kooper <i>Super Session<\/i> collaboration and the series of concerts the two men staged in the wake of that album\u2019s release. Bloomfield\u2019s playing on the slow blues of \u201cAlbert\u2019s Shuffle\u201d and the horn-augmented \u201cStop\u201d is amazingly expressive, and there is great interplay on \u201cHis Holy Modal Majesty\u201d between Bloomfield and Kooper, who plays the Ondioline electronic keyboard on the song in an attempt to mimic John Coltrane. Keeping in the <i>Super Session<\/i> mold, the live tracks and covers of \u201c59th Street Bridge Song (Feeling Groovy)\u201d and \u201cThe Weight\u201d capture Bloomfield at\u00a0 his best. He adapts perfectly to whatever mood the ensemble pursues, and his ability to switch from rabid blues playing to jazz-tinged licks is unparalleled. These songs also occasionally feature Bloomfield\u2019s often-overlooked vocal skills, and his sultry lead on \u201cMary Ann\u201d is particularly noteworthy.<\/p>\n<p>Following the <i>Super Sessions<\/i> period, Bloomfield retreated from the spotlight, disillusioned with the record business and battling personal demons. Disc three of the set chronicles the last 12 years of Bloomfield\u2019s life, during which he sporadically played low profile shows and contributed to friends\u2019 recordings. He made a great sideman as witnessed on his complementary playing on Janis Joplin\u2019s \u201cOne Good Man\u201d and Muddy Waters\u2019 \u201cCan\u2019t Lose What You Ain\u2019t Never Had\u201d and his sizzling leads on a handful of tracks recorded with Electric Flag vocalist Nick Gravenites in 1969. But Bloomfield also retained the ability to be a compelling frontman, as heard on solo songs recorded during a live appearance in New York in 1977. His country blues playing and singing is excellent on \u201cDarktown Strutters Ball,\u201d and he showcases his playful side to an appreciative audience with \u201cI\u2019m Glad I\u2019m Jewish.\u201d Just three months before his death in February 1981, Bloomfield had the opportunity to reunite with Dylan when his former collaborator made a tour stop in San Francisco. The set chronicles that moment with a recording of Dylan\u2019s \u201cThe Groom\u2019s Still Waiting at the Altar.\u201d Bloomfield is on fire, and Dylan sounds like he\u2019s charged by his old friend\u2019s energy.<\/p>\n<p>The film <i>Sweet Blues<\/i> rounds out the set and features extensive and insightful interviews with Bloomfield\u2019s friends, bandmates, and family that give a nuanced look into the man behind the guitar. Highlighting the hour-long film are two impressive live performances, one a slide-acoustic solo rendition of \u201cHe\u2019s a Dyin\u2019 Bed Maker\u201d filmed near the end of Bloomfield\u2019s life, and a frantic and blistering excerpt from The Electric Flag\u2019s set at the Monterey Pop Festival. The film fittingly complements the music on the set, and the entire package makes a strong case that Bloomfield may, in fact, have been the best guitarist of his generation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One doesn\u2019t have to go too far out on a limb to say that Michael Bloomfield is underrated.
