“Drinking Wine” by Mike Bloomfield

Loose, soulful, and full of life. In “Drinking Wine,” Mike Bloomfield lets his guitar do the talking—warm tone, effortless phrasing, and that unmistakable Chicago-meets-California groove. It’s the sound of a true bluesman at ease, playing from the heart and loving every note.

👉 Press play and raise a glass—Bloomfield’s blues goes down smooth, with a kick that lingers.
