Garbage, don't buy. They've chopped up songs and spliced pieces together. For example Fooled Around is about 1/2 the length of the original, they cut the openning riff in half, removed an ENTIRE stanza (if you can believe it). I was very dissapointed. Keep shopping, but don't waste your money like I did.

Elvin Bishop was, is and continues to be one of the best rock blues guitar players of our time. This CD contains some of his best and well known classics. For Elvin Bishop fans this CD is a must.

As mentioned elsewhere Fooled Around and Fell in Love is chopped up, down to the Top 40 radio station version. I bought this just for this song and was very disappointed. I dont know why they would even put that version on a CD. Wish I would have read the reviews first. As far as anything else on here, I think you'd need to be a die hard Alvin Bishop fan to like much of it. I know some of it will grow on me over time, although its not going to get played much since I bought a different CD with the full length version of the song I wanted. Lame

NOT THE BEST STUFF BY HIM BUT OK DELIVERY WAS QUICK AND ARRIVED IN PERFECT CONDITION THANKS AMAZON

I would like to get the song lyrics of "fooled around and fell in love". Where can i get them?

Yes that's how I feel about the lone Elvin Bishop song to make it into the top 40. I hated it with such a seething passion that I know I have to keep it clean here otherwise this won't get posted. The stupid key of "F", and that's the grade I give the song is the main reason I hate this song, but the lyrics tell me of something I could never do, and that's have alot of girls, and have them flock around me that way. I just never had that happen, and I doubt I ever will, but why would I want to? I remember one time I was in a crisis center, and everyone got to share their favorite fairy tales, and a few of the men claimed "The Three Bears", and they said it was because of choices where you can pick a girl, or for you women a guy, or whatever, and it would either be just right, or something else. That's a good way to do it, but "ONE AT A TIME......PLEASE!!!!!! I actually hate the guys who have more than one girlfriend hanging on them at one time because that leaves me out, and I'm trying to make time, but all it ends up with is a friendship, a stiff handshake, and nothing else. I know that anytime I hear this song I have to run the other way because of I know it would drive me to suicide. I know I have alot to live for, and this song would take it all away from me. I know everyone here would say if I let it, but the presence of this song is too strong as I have demons that I have to conquer. The things inside of me that make me feel like I'm not worthy to have love, and self-hating demons that just hold me down. This song will enter me, and just hold me back. I often wonder if Bishop's still alive? I know Mickey Thomas is, but I am not a big fan of his. I am not a big fan of Bishop's either. I had to censor the one scene of "Summer Of Sam" because it contained this song. I know when I used to practice guitar alot I tried to play it, to get away from it, and I used to have fantises of being in a band, and while the rest of the group played "Fooled Around" I would jump into playing Body Count's "Evil Rick" I had to clean it up otherwise this won't go public. I just feel it's wimpy too, and I guess it's a love song that guys can only appreciate, but let's face it whoever feels this is a love song just doesn't get it. The rest I don't even want to try.

The Elvin Bishop CD I received was not even Elvin Bishop. This CD case was right and even the CD looked right, but when played, it was something I had never heard! I am VERY unhappy about this.
