Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw/In My Own Dream
Digitally Remastered Edition of Two Classic LPs Combined in a Deluxe Double CD Package. Paul Butterfield's Third and Fourth Albums Are Paired Up on this Wonderful Set. For the Third Album, 'the Resurrection of Pigboy Cranshaw', Butterfield Added a Horn Section and the Direction of the Group Started to Veer Away from Straight Chicago-style Blues Toward a Sound More Influenced by R&b. By this Time, Mike Bloomfield Had Left the Group and Elvin Bishop (Aka Pigboy Crabshaw) Took Over on Lead Guitar. A Lot of Great R&b-inflected Blues Tunes Are on Here Here, Like "Driftin' and Driftin" and Albert King's "Born under a Bad Sign". On the Fourth Album "in My Own Dream", the Covers Are Toned Down in Favour of Original Material, but Still with the Same Blues/R&b Feel. This Deluxe Package features Original and Brand-new Liner Notes plus Stunning Rarely-seen Photos and Contemporary Ephemera. more

Hope this lives up to its promise
The first set in this series (the first two Butterfield albums) were fantastic recordings, cleaned up, high fidelity versions far superior to earlier CD releases of those albums. You could clearly hear all instruments, particularly the keyboards and fine separation of Elvin Bishop's and Mike...
