Harmonica wizard Norton Buffalo can recollect a leaner time when his record collection had been  whittled down to only the bare essentials: The Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Stand Back! Here Comes  Charley Musselwhite's South Side Band. Butterfield and Musselwhite will probably be forever linked as the  two most interesting, and arguably the most important, products of the "white blues movement" of the mid- to late '60s --  not only because they were near the forefront chronologically, but because they both stand out as being  especially faithful to the style. Each certainly earned the respect of his legendary mentors.  No less than the late Big Joe Williams said, "Charlie Musselwhite is one of the greatest living harp players  of country blues. He is right up there with Sonny Boy Williamson,  and he's been my harp player ever since Sonny Boy got killed."

Another highly talented and original ensemble -- Rose still on piano, with the Ford brothers (Pat and Robben), on drums and guitar, respectively. Again, Rose contributes an original departure, the solo piano ballad "Two Little Girls" -- and, as usual, it is to Charlie's credit that he welcomed such far-from-blues mood swings. Otherwise, the band's (especially Robben's) jazzier leanings were checked at the studio door, and Robben's guitar is mixed too low throughout. At this stage, Charlie was changing personnel too quickly to give any unit a second chance in the studio, which would have been especially interesting with this outfit...(AllMusic)
