The Paul Butterfield Blues Band is the first album by the (Paul) Butterfield Blues Band .
General
The folk-oriented Elektra label apparently signed Butterfield to benefit from the folk blues boom in the mid-1960s. The Butterfield Blues Band is also one of the first white and black blues groups in the USA. Sam Lay and Jerome Arnold came from Howlin 'Wolf's band and after the first recording of the album was discarded, Mark Naftalin joined the band and the album was re-recorded. The album was not particularly successful in the charts, but the influence that the band had on, for example, Electric Flag , the band Mike Bloomfield founded after he left Paul Butterfield's band, remained significant .

Criticism
- The Rolling Stone magazine took it upon all time in its list of the 500 greatest albums. (# 476)
- He sang and played the blues like a natural. (He sang and played the blues like a black man.) Q-Magazine 3 stars out of 5
- Calling this album influential is an understatement akin to calling the Grand Canyon a rut. (To call this album influential is an understatement similar to the Grand Canyon ruts.) CD Universe Review
- Two records really laid the groundwork for the decade's blues revival - the self-titled releases by John Mayall's Bluesbreakers out of London and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band out of Chicago. (Two albums laid the foundation for the decade's blues revival, the self-named albums "John Mayall's Bluesbreakers" in London and "The Butterfield Blues Band" in Chicago.) Amazon Editorial Review
- ... are all equally moving pieces performed with a raw adoration for blues music. (.. all equally touching pieces and performed with raw admiration for blues music.) Review of Allmusic by Mike DeGagne
