David Dann doesn't want anything unreasonable. He doesn't need you to praise Michael Bloomfield's solo albums as undiscovered classics. He doesn't think you need to believe the guitarist was better than this, that, or the other legendary axe-wielder. He just asks, when you're making a list of rock's great performers on that instrument, before you get to, say, Lou Reed or Gram Parsons, spare a thought for Mike Bloomfield.
In his new biography, Dann makes a case for Bloomfield as the first real guitar god in American blues-rock. There's a lot of competition in that race, but Bloomfield certainly belongs on any shortlist. I reviewed Guitar King for The Current.
What a turn around. The empire strikes back.
And... it turns out that I'm not the only blues musician to win write-in votes in the New Hampshire Primaries. It seems that Michael Bloomfield has also gotten quite a few write-in votes. Now, it's rather uncertain how many of these actually meant to vote for the deceased blues guitarist... versus how many actually meant to vote for Michael *Bloomberg*, who is a legitimate candidate that isn't written on the polls. Either way, I find it to be amusing.
