Product Description
CD Description
Elvin Bishop’s musical biography is no secret to anyone who has been into blues or rock music over the last forty years or so. He was taken under the wing of renowned Chicago bluesman Little Smokey Smothers in the early ‘60s; explored new musical frontiers as a founding member of the original Paul Butterfield Blues Band through their groundbreaking years; fronted his own outfit by the late ‘60s on the rock ballroom and concert circuit; and scored a Top 10 radio hit in the ‘70s with “Fooled Around And Fell In Love” - Bishop has been a bona fide legend for decades. Along the way he’s carved out a niche all his own, playing an appealing mix of rootsy rock & roll, R&B and barroom boogie, steeped in the heavy blues he learned from Little Smokey all those years ago.So when a bunch of close friends who also happen to be consummate musicians are sequestered together, as they were when they were at sea on the 2010 Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise, what else are they going to do but unite forces and create some truly exemplary music? Thankfully the tapes (or bytes) were rolling, and this wonderful musical experience was saved for posterity – and for Delta Groove Music. With the good vibes of a ship full of fellow music lovers to buoy the band, this is one of those performances where you really can hear that everyone was having a good time.

'Rebel Rod's Reviews - Elvin Bishop's Raisn' Hell Revue (Delta Groove Music)
26 May 2011
Format:Audio CD
By 'Rebel' Rod Ames
When I hear the mere mention of Elvin Bishop, nothing but fond memories and smiling faces come to mind.
I remember hearing him for the first time back when I was a teen and Mr. Bishop was playing with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. However, I never really got to know just how fantastic Elvin Bishop was as a guitar player/singer until I heard "Rock My Soul" circa 1971, sitting on the bedroom floor with my best friend Cathi McCain, smoking' "butterballs" (I ain't talking turkey either) and groovin' to this southern brand of blues-rock.
Fast forward almost 40 years and you will not find me smoking butterballs anymore, but Elvin Bishop is still bending those strings, performing great music. If you don't believe me, then on May 17th go out and get "Elvin Bishop's Raisin' Hell Revue" (Delta Groove Music).
It is comprised of thirteen amazing yet familiar tracks, "Calling All Cows", the fore mentioned "Rock My Soul", but most notable on the record is "Fooled Around and Fell in Love". This is the first time since the original that this song has been recorded. This time it is soulfully performed by John Nemeth instead of Mickey Thomas.
As good as Mickey Thomas was on the original, in my opinion, Mr. Nemeth's rendition is superior. He adds an element of soul that wasn't necessarily missing on the original, but was certainly absent. What I mean by that is Mickey Thomas belted out the tune his way and it was a huge success, but Mr. Nemeth has a more soulful style to his voice, and even though he stays true to the original, his style allows him to make the song his very own. When an artist accomplishes covering a song, even though this isn't really a cover - it was written by Mr. Bishop - until now it was considered Mr. Thomas' song. Mr. Nemeth, against all odds, accomplished the nearly impossible task of taking possession of the tune.
If that were not enough, Mr. Nemeth turns around and does it all over again with the incredibly famous Ozzie Cadena/Herman Lubinsky tune, "The Night Time Is the Right Time". This time he may not accomplish the feat of making it his own, but is reverent to the way the song was meant to be performed, making it an enormous amount of fun to listen too never the less.
I have only barely touched the tip of the proverbial iceberg here. This incredible compilation of songs was recorded live on the legendary Blues Cruise in May of 2010. It catapulted right to the top five of my favorite live recordings of all time. In addition, it most likely will make it to my top 10 list at the end of this year.
It is absolutely a fantastic addition to my collection. I suggest you add it to yours as well.
