    Re: Paul Butterfield Blues Band

    Yes absolutely .. Robbens albums with this brothers are great ( there are two Butterfield tributes , one more Bloomfield orientated & live ) .. Buzz Feiten ( you can hear him elsewhere on this site with Dr John ) but I swear that is not him as billed with The Rascals on that show , neither is it Pops Popwell .. Pops joined for the Island Of Real album and though Buzz was on the Peaceful World recordings .. very much so & they're great .. this is NOT him here .. sounds like Link Chamberlain to me .

    Buzz went on to Full Moon ( wonderful album with Wilson , Dinwiddie & Neil Larsen of course ) and to more work with Neil Larsen ( High Gear , Jungle fever , Through any window , Smooth Talk ) ... he got better & better in fact and his musical vocab went way beyond the blues thing .

    More recently Buzz was with Dave Weckl ( 88 - 00 ) and the Synergy album features his compositions and shows him off nicely . He toured with Gregg Allman in 00 , two albums with his band Whirlies and The Second Full Moon project in 02 .. all worth checking because like John Scofield , but utterly differently , Buzz is an original .with a unique voice of his own . not a derivative bone in his body .

    Buzz's live work with Butter was astonishing .. he played the legs off all the Claptons & Pages .. by far .. then he went on and developed ( they did not .. bless them )

    George
