Barry Goldberg was a regular fixture in the white blues firmament of the mid-'60s that seemed to stretch from Chicago to New York. A keyboardist (organ seemed to be his specialty),
Barry was an in-demand session man -- he appears with
Michael Bloomfield on a
Mitch Ryder album, for instance -- along with
Al Kooper and his blues-playing contemporary from the original
Butterfield band,
Mark Naftalin.
Goldberg was a member of
Charlie Musselwhite's first band, contributing great piano and organ lines to the
Stand Back! album (his work on "Cristo Redentor" is moody and introspective, with a strong jazz-inflected feel, while still retaining strong blues roots) and a handful of others throughout the decade. ~ Cub Koda
