Bio / info
A pioneer of modern electric blues from Chicago, Harvey Mandel (born March 11, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan) developed and mastered sustained and controlled feedback, displaying both extroversion and musical virtuosity. He has performed with many blues legends including Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Otis Rush, Albert King, and Buddy Guy. He was the original guitarist with Charlie Musselwhite (circa 1966) and was also a member of the Barry Goldberg Reunion. After relocating to San Francisco, met up with renowned producer Abe "Voco" Kesh, releasing his first solo album for Phillips/Mercury Records in 1968. Mandel replaced Henry Vestine as lead guitarist of the Canned Heat; his third gig with the band was the Woodstock Festival in 1969. After three albums with Canned Heat, he was recruited by British blues man John Mayall to be a member of the Bluesbreakers, appearing on several of their albums including USA Union. Around 1972 he teamed up with Sugarcane Harris, forming the band Pure Food and Drug Act, all the while continuing his solo career. One of Mandel's most significant session credits was his participation on Black and Blue, the 1976 LP from The Rolling Stones.
