Free Music Notes for The Blues Rolls OnFree Music Review: Great Blues Hit: 5 Stars
I've been a blues fan for 30 years now and I'm always on the lookout for any band that plays fresh tunes and keeps the jams short and tight. A welcome record for anyone sick and tired of hearing the Chess songbook over and over and again.
Tight, soulful, and unique. Notables include the long forgotten Roy Milton gem "Keep a dollar in your pocket" and Junior Wells' "I found out." Elvin's next record should be more hidden gems like these. He's got to know tons of other songs like these Roy Milton and minor Junior Wells tunes just sitting around. T-bone Walker comes to mind...
Free Music Review: Great CD froman American Blues Master!!! Hit: 5 Stars
Elvin is one of a kind!! He has played with and known them all, and taught most of them a few things along the way. A style all his own and a sense of humor that is refreshing in a time when everyone takes themselves so G__ D----- seriously.
In this CD, Elvin shares and spotlights many other blues players; some known and some almost unheard of. As you read in the CD details, even B.B. joins in.
I don't believe Elvin is old enough to pass the torch on yet, but maybe he is thinking about it with this CD.
Buy it, this CD is a treasure!!!!
Free Music Review: What the world needs now... Hit: 5 Stars
My wife Elizabeth might not like it but I,m gonna go ahead and write it anyhow. Elvin Bishop keeps a man strong and headin' in the right direction. Why that boy don't know no better than to keep on playin' and he's always draggin' in driters and such in cahoots with him and lord don't they raise a ruckus..speakin' of I do wish he and Bill Kirchen would get together and cut heads fore one of 'em up and dies on us...I guess the disc would be half guffaws 'n belly laughs live or in the studio. Damn I love this man's outlook on life..does it show? Dave.
Free Music Review: Still one of the best! Hit: 5 Stars
Elvin is a legend and this album demonstrates exactly how/why. He's got the best in blues guesting on this CD, but Elvin is the real draw here. His playing is even better and more soulful then the early days (yes, I have some of his stuff on LP!). Blues men always get better with age and they don't make blues like this anymore. "Oklahoma" and his cover of "Night Time Is The Right Time" are highlights and a duet with B.B. King is always gonna be worth a listen.
Free Music Review: The Blues Rolls On! Hit: 5 Stars
"The Blues Rolls On" is Elvin Bishop's best album to date. His guitar playing is spot on and he certainly knows how to "strut his stuff"! With special guests such as B.B. King, George Thorogood, Derek Trucks and more, "The Blues Rolls On" is sure to please blues fans, old and new. My personal favorites are "Struttin' My Stuff" and "Keep A Dollar In Your Pocket." This is a great album and I'm glad to see that Elvin is keeping the blues alive and well.
