Summary: Great example of Elvin's work!
Comment: I've been going to see Elvin perform for more than 35 years. Every iteration of his band has a different flavor. This CD is the latest version. I saw these guys at the Santa Cruz County Fair in 2006. For me, the performance was tied for the best Elvin Bishop show since I last saw him with Jo Baker. They were loose and Elvin was back to his old self. His banter with the audience was fun. This CD captures the essence. Tonight he plays at the SCC Fair again and I can't wait!!!!

Summary: If This Doesn't Make You Feel Good, Check Your Vital Signs
Comment: Great live performance by an original American bluesman to the world. Probably the most under rated Bluesmen alive, Elvin is the real deal. MOst guitar plaers aren't worthy to carry his guitar case.
One of the best slide guitar players in the world, a guy that writes songs laden with comedy (find that in these days of rap, heart-break, self-indulgent, and boo-hoo lyrics) Do yourself a favor and collect all of Elvin's CD's before he decides to quit making them.

No need to waste time making a mixtape for your next blues bash--just throw on this disc and let Elvin Bishop be your host for a night of rollicking fun. Bishop has traditionally been known for bouncy shows that incorporate both the deep blues he cut as an original member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and the country-styled soul he gravitated to as one of the Capricorn label's popular Southern rock acts in the '70s. You can practically see his goofy grin and wild eyes as he knocks back an hour's worth of highlights from a 2006 show. Accompanied by a sympathetic eight-piece band that includes three background vocalists and a trombonist who also plays rubboard, this is a nonstop party that doesn't even slow down for the topical, politically based ruminations of "What the Hell Is Going On," one of only two tracks reprised from his appropriately titled 2005 comeback Gettin' My Groove Back. The slow blues of "Belly Rubbin'" and the opening instrumental "Stomp" spotlight Bishop's impressive guitar chops, but this is truly a group effort. He turns lead vocals over to other band members for three tracks, and if he's not enjoying himself as much as the audience, he ought to be nominated for an Oscar instead of a Grammy. Bishop cherry-picks "Stealin' Watermelons" from his early years, but generally sticks to fresh tunes and unusual covers such as Roy Milton's humorous "Keep a Dollar in Your Pocket" and Junior Parker's frisky "I Feel Alright Again." Let the booty bumpin' begin! --Hal Horowitz
