20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Elvin Bishop

Looking for authentic blues? You'll need to dig deeper than this guy is capable of delivering. For the real deal, try Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Robert Johnson, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, Stevie Ray Vaughan, BB King, Lightnin' Hopkins, Albert King, Jimmy Reed, Paul Butterfield's early years, Clapton, and more... save your money and skip the Elvin Bishop. He's the Jimmy Buffet of blues or whatever.

Best of Elvin Bishop

Garbage, don't buy. They've chopped up songs and spliced pieces together. For example Fooled Around is about 1/2 the length of the original, they cut the openning riff in half, removed an ENTIRE stanza (if you can believe it). I was very dissapointed. Keep shopping, but don't waste your money like I did.

The Best of Elvin Bishop: Tulsa Shuffle

"Tulsa Shuffle" does a wonderful job of surveying Elvin's first three solo efforts after leaving the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. The guitar playing alone makes this a worthy collection, and Elvin's party till the cows come home attitude offsets the admittedly less than beautiful vocals Bishop contributes. Jo Baker's vocals are a marked improvement over Elvin's efforts and add considerably to the overall quality of this recording. For anyone who remembers this period of Elvin's recording career I strongly recommend this collection.

Sure Feels Good: The Best of Elvin Bishop

What a nice complilation . This is feel good music to the max! I may be one of the few who would rather hear Elvin sing the songs himself rather than 'Fooled Around's" Mickey Thomas, but I can't quibble too much when a CD such as this provides so much fun. Elvin Bishop has coasted effortlessly through tough urban Chicago blues, the innovative experiments of The Butterfield Blues Band's "East-West",and the happy west coast soul n' funk music he was making in the early seventies. By 1973 Mr. Bishop had rediscovered his Oklahoma roots and preceded to put out some of the funkiest, and funniest, albums in his long and distinguished career.
