Product Description
CD Description
"The Blues Rolls On" harks back to Elvin Bishop's roots, paying tribute to the musicians who inspired him and who also helped give him his start. Supported by an all-star cast of blues royalty featuring B.B. King, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, George Thorogood, James Cotton, Kim Wilson, Tommy Castro, John Nemeth, Angela Strehli, plus many more, Bishop leads the way through a smoldering set of searing blues and rollicking R&B. While Bishop handles a majority of the vocals he graciously steps aside on several numbers in order to allow his guests ample room to strut their stuff, including rising star and vocal powerhouse John Nemeth, as well as other distinguished personnel that include George Thorogood, Angela Strehli, Ronnie Baker Brooks and R.C. Carrier. With over 45-years of blues experience under his belt, Bishop is widely recognized and highly respected as a slide guitar master with a history dating all the way back to his electrifying and groundbreaking work in the 60's with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. By assembling a dizzying array of musical talent aged 9 through 82, Bishop has collected together a lifetime's worth of education in the blues into one complete cohesive package, thereby allowing him the opportunity to present and pass along to the younger generation some of what the older guys gave to him. 'The Blues Rolls On is another defining moment in Bishop's long career; a crowning achievement and welcome reminder for all of us that the blues is still alive and well.

Still one of the best!, 1 Oct 2008
By musicmaven "blackbird_no5" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Blues Rolls On (Audio CD)
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.

Bishop takes Knight, 29 Oct 2008
By Outin d'Now "KUXL Baby" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Blues Rolls On (Audio CD)
I first heard Elvin Bishop in 1967 playing second guitar in the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Forty-one years later, he's playing second guitar to no one. He has earned his blues and his peers' respect doing the passion of his life. He is the reflection of the gritty and raw music that not only survives but thrives in the souls of those that have lived in tough times, lost at love, or have compassion. While I still prefer his days of trading licks with Mike Bloomfield, this CD and the talent in it are worth the price of admission. Elvin still has a few more notes to share with us all, it's just a matter of listening.

The Blues Rolls On!, 1 Oct 2008
By Vida - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Blues Rolls On (Audio CD)
"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.
