Blowing My Mind

Blowing My Mind is the first album by the Barry Goldberg Blues Band. It was released in 1966.

Critical reception

On AllMusic Lindsay Planer wrote, "After [Steve] Miller split to the Bay Area to form his own blues band, Goldberg and the remnants of the short-lived Goldberg-Miller union headed to Music City U.S.A. to cut Blowing My Mind (1966) . Joining Goldberg were several up-and-coming notables, including Charlie Musselwhite (harmonica), Harvey Mandel (guitar), Roy Ruby (bass), and Maurice McKinley (drums). This quintet drives through a blend of high-energy originals as well as an interesting combination of equally commanding cover tunes."
