Barry Goldberg (no relation) was a close friend of guitarist Michael Bloomfield, and when Dylan went electric at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, Barry Goldberg was playing keyboards and Bloomfield was playing lead guitar. He co-founded the Electric Flag with Bloomfield in 1967.

Now Goldberg has a book out about himself and Bloomfield, titled “Two Jews Blues,” which was also the title of an album Goldberg recorded with Bloomfield in 1969.

Check out this ten minute promotional video of Barry Goldberg talking about Bloomfield, Dylan and the book.
