[Harp-L] Butter TV spot

[Ev630 <eviltweed@xxxxxxxxx>]

Two observations on this:

First, I could never get into Butterfield. His phrasing has too much of a
rock sensibility for my taste. Like that arpeggio descending lick he would
always do and that you hear at the intro of the TV spot. Not saying he's a
bad player, but he just doesn't float my boat as a blues musician. Lord
knows I have tried and I know he was the first cat that hipped a lot of
white Americans to the blues, and that's one reason I think why he's adored.
But I got into the blues listening to Wells, Cotton, the Walters, etc... so
it just doesn't do it for me.

Second, what a shame they couldn't have had Cotton or some other great black
blues musician on that TV show.
