1968 studio album by Paul Butterfield Blues Band
In My Own Dream is the fourth album by the American blues rock band Paul Butterfield Blues Band . Released in 1968, it continued the trend of its predecessor The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw in moving towards a more soul -oriented sound, supported by a first rate horn section, (featuring a young David Sanborn ), but was not so well-received either by critics or the public as its predecessor.[citation needed ]
The title cut features a long solo by Sanborn on soprano saxophone. The drums were handled by Philip Wilson , who went on to jazz renown in the Art Ensemble of Chicago . The LP includes three songs written by bassist Bugsy Maugh,[ 3] two of which he sings lead on. This album is also notable as the last Butterfield record with original members Mark Naftalin and Elvin Bishop , who both moved on to solo ventures of varying success.[citation needed ]
