The Blues Rolls On for Elvin Bishop

Elvin Bishop, a founding member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, has recruited an all-star cast for his next studio album, Blues Rolls On. The disc will hit stores on September 23 via Delta Groove/ Eclecto Groove Music and is billed as a return to Bishop's roots, paying tribute to the musicians who helped give him his start. A number of musicians with deep ties to the blues world appear on the album, including B. B. King, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, George Thorogood, James Cotton, Kim Wilson, Tommy Castro, John Nemeth, Ronnie Baker Brooks, and Angela Strehli. As expected Bishop handles the majority pf the album’s vocals, while Nemeth and others pitch in as well. Highlights include a reworking of Bishop’s '70s solo hit "Struttin' My Stuff" with Haynes and Trucks, Junior Wells' "Come On In This House," The Butterfield Band's "Yonders Wall" and Hound Dog Taylor's "Send You Back To Georgia." Bishop will appear at Fair Oaks, CA’s Oaks Park tomorrow as part of the Northern California Blues Festival.
