[Harp-L] Paul ButterfieldÂs "Slow down"

[martin oldsberg <martinoldsberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

This has
been highlighted a couple of times before, but I make no apologies: if you like
good stuff this is the stuff you like. (Sound is kinda lousy, though.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4GNci5koi8
 Butterfield is really in his prime here, and
the material he recorded around this time, as well as those rather clunky
PBBB albums from the 60Âs, disintegrates in a thin cloud of smoke in comparison. That assured, laid-back stringency
in the way he sets things up in the intro: a few tonic octaves delicately
placed, then a simple riff â the force of that tone! â long pause, and back
to some octaving again. Takes you to school. Nothing really hard to play â when someone else has played it for you. 

 And even if I donÂt care that much for the
unison soloing at the end (was that a 70Âs thing?), this is something IÂd
really like on a record.
ÂDo you people
with knowledge of PB know what became of this/these session/s? It looks like studio
surroundings and there are some really expensive guys involved, Levon H, The
Doctor and Sanborn; few people would mind them crowding a session. 
 The YT poster hints at an album with Butter
and Garth H that was canned: was this also an aborted project?
Â
Cheers,
Martin
