This is a release from the mid 60s showcasing some Electra artists such as Paul Butterfield and Loving Spoonful. It was released on cd but is more prevalent in vinyl. 

[Bill Nelson]

The state of the art in 1966 when it comes to white blues bands.  For those wary of various artist albums, there's not a clinker anywhere on this.

Do you (or anyone else) have any recommendations, not necessarily just him, but blues in general. I have to admit ignorance but I had not heard about him until I read in the new book about Janis Joplin. Then I saw that there was a thread about him at Hoffman, https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/reverend-gary-davis.775111/

Great tune.  The rest of the album doesn't hold up as well, but is very pleasant, IMO.

Speaking of Paul Weller, there's a band he works with occasionally called "The Stone Foundation".  Kind of a soul-rock band for want of a better term.  Here he is taking the lead on a song of theirs called, "Your Balloon Is Rising."

Rev Gary Davis was a big influence on Jorma Kaukonen. You can really hear it in his acoustic music.

Nice set.  I also (even more) highly recommend this one, and the two sets complement each other beautifully:

Yes, would definitely like to eventually track that one down as well.  I’ll need to brush up on my French!

Thanks for the reminder! I've had that since it came out, but never listened to it much.
