This is the definitive biography of the legendary guitarist whom Muddy Waters and B. B. King held in high esteem and who created the prototype for Clapton; Hendrix; Page; and those who followed. Bloomfield was a member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band; which inspired a generation of white blues players; he played with Bob Dylan in the mid-1960s; when his guitar was a central component of Dylans new rock sound on "Like a Rolling Stone." He then founded the Electric Flag; recorded Super Session with Al Kooper; backed Janis Joplin; and released at least twenty other albums despite debilitating substance abuse. This book; based on extensive interviews with Bloomfield himself and with those who knew him best; and including an extensive discography and Bloomfields memorable 1968 Rolling Stone interview; is an intimate portrait of one of the pioneers of rock guitar.
