Bloomfield, Michael

Michael Bloomfield
1978 Black & Gold Label Heavy Vinyl Original In Shrink Wrap. Glossy, Unplayed Condition. "This Self-Titled Effort Found Bloomfield Reaching Back To His Nightclub Roots, Following Forays Into Acoustic Music (Analine), Sleazy R&B-Derived Rock (Count Talent & The Originals), Instructional Albums (If You Love These Blues Play 'Em As You Please), And Gospel Guitar Duets (Bloomfield/Harris). Six Of The Eight Tracks Here Are Blues Standards That Bloomfield Tailored To His Aggressive And In-Your-Face Guitar Style. The Sound Mirrors Count Talent’s Barroom Lurch, Only With A Smaller Cast. This Time, The Bedrock Is Drummer-Vocalist Bob Jones And Bassist "Gashouse Dave" Shorey, With Bloomfield Shouldering The Multi-Instrumental Load. Bloomfield Adds Some Deft Touches, Such As Lead Acoustic Guitar And Six-String Banjo On "Knockin' Myself Out," A Darkly Humorous Look At Self-Destruction. "Sloppy Drunk" Sketches The Alcoholic's Life From A Lighter Standpoint, While "Women Loving Each Other" Is A Frank Examination Of Lesbianism, From The Jilted Man's Side. Bloomfield And Friends Also Nod To Their Roots On A Haunting Rendition Of "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean," Which Glows From His Accordion, Piano, And Acoustic Slide Guitar. This Album Is Among His Most Consistent Efforts; Needless To Say, It's Also Extremely Scarce, So Snatch It Up Before Another Knowledgeable Person Gets There First." Ralph Heibutzki, AMG.
