bazooka Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 This one didn't make the cut for Music Of Choice List 23, so I'll proselytize up here. Rock My Soul - The Elvin Bishop Band Elvin Bishop might be known as one of the 3 Bs ( Butterfield, Bloomfield & Bishop ) of The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, or through his late 70s pop-oriented hit Fooled Around And Fell In Love, but I only recently 'discovered' this rockin’ R&B style treat from ’72. When I arrived at a birthday party last November, the host had just loaded a CD. As I was groovin’ to the title tune, he asked me, “Do you remember this? Know who this is?†Although the song seemed familiar and was absolutely exceptional, I had to admit I couldn’t name the artist. As soon as he let me know, this went on my wish list for Christmas -- and my nephew came through with it as a gift. Let me tell you, people, there’s not an underachieving track on this album. It was confidently produced by Delaney Bramlett ( of Delaney & Bonnie), highlighting Bishop’s Gospel-inspired energy. Elvin shared lead vocals (“ I recognized early on that I didn’t have the kind of voice that was gonna thrill peopleâ€) with the late great (and thrilling) Ms. Jo Baker.
