Elvin Bishop has been performing his rollicking brand of electrified front porch blues for over sixty years. (His first professional gig was as guitarist for Junior Wells’ band in 1962.) Moreover, he is as vital and creative an artist today as he was when he first hit the national scene. He did this in 1965 with The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. He is still as slyly good-humored and instantly crowd-pleasing as when he effortlessly created solo hits during the 1970s. His reemergence in the late 1980s and 1990s, along with his more recent releases, ensure his place on the short list of bona fide blues guitar heroes.
