Nick Gravenites With Michael Bloomfield - Moon Tune

I probably post more Bloomfield than any other musician. This song is posted for no other reason than that I heard it yesterday and fell in love with it all over again. It's blues-based without actually being a blues, and not just because of the chord changes. It's also because of that slow, slow beat with a ton of power behind it, that comes straight out of people like Albert King doing slow-tempo but burning blues songs in live performance. The heart of the song is the guitar solo, where Bloomfield effortlessly and without rock-star ego dominates what is something like an eleven-piece band. Enjoy.
