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!!!!

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.

Elvin Bishop is another overlooked talent. Most people recall him as the country-bumpkin southern rocker from the 70's or as the "other guy" in the Butterfield Blues Band. He's a good guitarist who plays good, fun songs, especilly live. Wanna have some fun ? Check this one out !
