I just start to discover Mike Bloomfield and I pretty much like his style! He was absolutely awesome. I think his tone is awesome.

 
Bloomfield is the man. His work on Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited is still some of my favorite Telecaster tone ever. I have some of his blues stuff as well and it's all excellent.
 
I have couple of his solo CD's. Some really great stuff. Great phrasing and great tone. What was a shock though......was that he was a phenomenal acoustic guitarist too. Absolutely amazing stuff....as though he only played acoustic. Other than possibly Stephen Stills, I can't think of any "star" electric guitarist who could play like he could on an acoustic.

Mine too!!:master:

His work on the whole album is masterful, but it's "Tombstone Blues" in particular that knocks me out every time. Bloomfield is a big reason that album is in my top 2 Dylan albums.
 
Well, if you're only going to have one Dylan album, that's a pretty darn good choice. :D
