Blues - Elvin Bishop December 9, 2005

Guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Elvin Bishop has been singing and recording his rollicking brand of electrified down-home blues for almost 40 years. Bishop's history-making tenure as a founding member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band in the 1960s, his chart-topping hits in the 1970s, and his emergence on Alligator Records in the late 1980s and into the 1990s place him at the forefront of electric blues guitarists. Elvin's music is a mix of his blues roots with contemporary funk and rock flavors spiced with a touch of country and the laid-back feel of his Northern California home. Rolling Stone referred to Bishop's music as "a good-time romp...raucous blues with high-energy soloing, mixtures of careening slide and razor-edged bursts, all delivered with unflagging enthusiasm and wit."

Bishop's newest CD, entitled Gettin' My Groove Back, was released by Blind Pig Records on August 16, 2005. Long time fans will find what they've come to expect from a Bishop recording - that "let's have a good time" party vibe! www.blindpigrecords.com/artists/Bishop,+Elvin.html
