Barry Goldberg started playing music
when still a teenager, and at a young age he got to sit in with various
famous blues artists in his hometown of Chicago (including Muddy Waters,
Howlin' Wolf and Otis Rush). Later on in the 60s he briefly recorded as a duo with Steve
Miller, and famously played piano for Bob Dylan's first electric gig at the Newport Folk Festival. He realeased a solo album in 1966, featuring the lineup of Goldberg (keyboards/vocals), Charlie Musslewhite (harmonica), Harvey Mandel (guitar), Roy Ruby (bass) and Maurice McKinley (drums). Blowing My Mind was pretty much pure blues, albeit it with a driving rock beat. Alongside covers of Jimmy Reed and T-Bone Walker songs and a few originals, it also had bluesy renditions of Buddy Holly's "That'll Be The Day" and Jerry Lee Lewis' "Whole Lotta Shaking Going On".
