What a nice complilation . This is feel good music to the max! I may be one of the few who would rather hear Elvin sing the songs himself rather than 'Fooled Around's" Mickey Thomas, but I can't quibble too much when a CD such as this provides so much fun. Elvin Bishop has coasted effortlessly through tough urban Chicago blues, the innovative experiments of The Butterfield Blues Band's "East-West",and the happy west coast soul n' funk music he was making in the early seventies. By 1973 Mr. Bishop had rediscovered his Oklahoma roots and preceded to put out some of the funkiest, and funniest, albums in his long and distinguished career. This excellent CD captures the best of Elvin's sly, hick, cool, Okie sugar bear persona better than any other compilation I've heard. If ya can"t find the vinyl ,then for gosh sakes get this CD and "Fool Around and Fall in Love", even if that ain't close to being the best song on the dadgum CD.And here's a P.S. Elvin's still out there playing the blues as cool and hip as ever. Dig those new albums too ya'll!

Folks who only know him from "Fooled" need to discover one of the most underrated guitarists ever. "Travelin' Shoes" works as a perfect introduction to Elvin's Southern style.Enjoy!

One of the best albums ever for partying. Once ya heard it yule want to play it again and again. Juke Joint Jump is great.
