Michael Bernard "Mike" Bloomfield, född 28 juli 1943 i Chicago, död 15 februari 1981 i San Francisco. När han 37 år gammal hittades död av en överdos var han för de flesta ganska okänd. Han fick aldrig samma berömmelse och uppmärksamhet som sina samtida gitarrkollegor Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix och Carlos Santana.
Uppväxt som han var i Chicago kom han som ung att spela med B.B King, Albert King, Freddie King, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf och många fler på stadens bluesklubbar och fick på så sätt sin skolning på bästa tänkbara sätt.
Han började spela i Paul Butterfield Blues Band och senare i Electric Flag, men för de flesta är han nog mest känd för sitt gitarrspel på Bob Dylans "Highway 61 Revisited". Det här är en omistlig samling för alla blues älskare och dessutom en stor bonus för alla Dylan fans. Samlingen innehåller en skatt av icke tidigare utgivna låtar. Här finns exempel på gitarrspel av den allra yppersta klass. Det är ett fantastiskt dokument av en gitarrist som de flesta av oss först nu fattar hur jävla bra han var. En samling som får högsta betyg.
