1) Paul Butler is a British blues guitarist and singer (and former member of Jellybread).
2) Paul Butler is an American musician from New Jersey.
3) Paul Butler (Paul J. Butler) is a multi-instrumentalist.
1) Paul Butler is a British blues guitarist and singer (and former member of Jellybread). He usually plays solo folk/acoustic stuff with a bluesy tinge. He has played and recorded with B.B.King, Lightnin’ Slim, Eddie Guitar Burns and Taj Mahal. However, as an electric blues guitarist, his earlier musical life represents an odyssey though the British Blues Boom years, and he was fortunate to play and record with several of its principal characters. He has shared stages/studios with Keef Hartley and Stan Webb, Ric Lee and Leo Lyons, Rick Hayward, Steve York, Miller Anderson, Andy Pyle, John Altman, Tony Ashton, Pete Gage, Laurence Garman and Duster Bennet, Bernie Marsden, Bob Daisley – and Elkie Brooks on one occasion, with a Keef Hartley Band line-up! He parked his guitar in 1982 after one album with Chicken Shack, “Roadies Concerto” (1981).
Butler’s recording career began in 1964, when together with his first band, The Turnkeys, he provided the “beat group music” for a Jim O’Connolly film, ”The little ones” (released in 1965). Interestingly, the group’s founder member was London harmonica man, Tim Hill, who would later front a band involving Bill Smith, one of the drummers used on this album. It was after meeting pianist, Pete Wingfield, at university in 1967 that Butler’s recording career began in earnest. The association with legendary Blues producer, Mike Vernon, and his Blue Horizon label, saw Jellybread, the band that Wingfield and Butler initially formed with fellow students, Chris Waters and John Best, go on to produce 3 albums and 6 singles, plus several compilation albums, for Blue Horizon. Many of the recorded tracks were reprised in the 2008 Sony-BMG album, “Jellybread – The complete Blue Horizon sessions”. This last Jellybread album, “Back to begin again”, saw Butler team up with two members recruited from Christine Perfect’s band, Rick Hayward (guitars) and Kenny Lamb (drums). The association with Blue Horizon also gave Paul Butler the opportunity to record with B.B. King on his RCA released “In London” album in 1971. The session was filmed for a BBC television special on the blues legend, shown later in the year, and excerpts re-appeared in “The story of the guitar” broadcast by the BBC in October, 2008. Later, Butler was to play on the two Mike Vernon albums, “Bring it on home” (1971) and “Moment of madness” (1973), and on the Lightnin’ Slim album, “London Gumbo” in 1972.
Despite supportive critical reviews, and considerable air play, Jellybread finally disbanded in 1973, after an abortive move to Transatlantic Records. Wingfield had already departed to follow a separate career path, but Paul Butler’s association with Transatlantic saw him join Punchin’ Judy, and he later record an album with another TA act, Dave Cartwright, in 1974 (“Don’t let your family down”). However, that year also saw his association with the Keef Hartley Band begin, going through several line-ups, and recording tracks that were never released. It was at this time that Butler also re-connected with Ten Years After drummer, Ric Lee, whom he had first met at a Mike Vernon session. Together, they recorded several tracks for Lee’s Fast Western outfit, showcasing Butler’s songwriting, and counting Wingfield, Hartley and saxophonist, Gary Barnacle, amongst the session musicians. Although nothing came of these efforts, the pair was to meet again in 1979, when both were to join with Stan Webb and Andy Pyle in a freewheeling, hard drinking Chicken Shack line-up that would eventually see the release of a live album, “Roadies’ Concerto”, on RCA in 1981.
After a failed attempt to start another band with Lee, Paul Butler retired from the music business in 1982. In 2009, he bought himself a new acoustic guitar, and by 2010, some of his home recordings were being regularly played on independent radio stations, one even topping a listener popularity chart on 4 occasions. In 2010, some of these tracks were released in downloadable format as “21C Blue –the EP”. However, it wasn’t until July 2012 that the planned studio recording could begin. “Days will come” is the end result.
