A song of lost love called "Last Hope's Gone" by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band which puts their music into a real jazz sensibility but still has the mournfulness of the blues, except, this time relying on horns rather than on guitar and Butterfield's soulful blues harp playing. David Sanborn on alto saxophone (who would go on to a stellar career in jazz, becoming a pioneer of the "smooth jazz" genre in the 1980s), is one of the featured soloists along with trumpets and flutes. The band lineup for Butterfield's band at this time (circa 1968) included:
Paul Butterfield: vocals
Elvin Bishop: guitar
Nuffy Markham: keyboards
Bugsy Maugh: bass
Phil Wilson: drums
Gene Dinwiddle: tenor saxophone
David Sanborn: alto saxophone
Keith Johnson: trumpet
