Born In Glendale, California, Elvin Grew Up On An Lowa Farm And When He Was 10 His Family Moved To Tulsa.
With two recent CD releases "Red Dog Speaks" and "Elvin Bishop's Raisin' Hell Revue," as well as a Grammy proposal for his 2008 disk "The Blues Rolls On," Elvin Bishop, who turned 69 years-old in October, has absolutely revamped his career, a vocation that began in the early 1960's and is going powerful more than 5 decades later .
Born in Glendale, California, Elvin grew up on an Iowa farm. When he was 10 his family moved to Tulsa. He had little exposure to onstage music, but his family did have a radio, and between the pop hits of the day and some country music that ruled the airwaves of the 1950's, the radio would often be able to capture the mythical RB programming of 1510 / WLAC from Nashville. The station introduced Elvin to the classic records of Jimmy Reed, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters and so many others, and once his ears had been hooked, there wasn't any turning back. He shortly got his first guitar and on his own commenced scratching out the basic outlines of the blues, RB and rock and roll that had caught his imagination.
He attended Will Rogers School in Tulsa, winning a full grant to the University of Chicago us a Nationwide Merit Scholar finalist. On graduation, he moved to Chicago to attend school where he focused on physics. The School of Chicago was located on the city's South side, ground nil for much of the urban blues Elvin has been studying from a distance. In 1963 he met harmonica player Paul Butterfield and joined Butterfield's band, remaining for 5 years. The band's third album, "The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw," takes its name from Bishop's nickname. His long time publishing company is known as Crabshaw Music.
In 1968 Elvin left the Butterfield Blues Band and formed the Elvin Bishop Group, signing with Bill Graham's Fillmore Records. He played on the album "The Live Journeys of Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper," and recorded 3 albums for the Fillmore label. In 1971 his band and the Allman Siblings Band played a series of concerts at the Fillmore East in N. Y, when the Allman's recorded their mythical live album, "At Fillmore East." Elvin joined the Allmans onstage for a rendition of his own song, "Drunken Hearted Boy" during each show. Over time, Elvin has recorded with a lot of other blues artists including Clifton Chenier, John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley and B.B. King.
Elvin signed with Capricorn Records in 1974 and The Elvin Bishop Band released 6 albums, garnering massive airplay on the album-oriented rock radio stations of the day. In 1976, the band released the single, "Fooled Around and Fell in Love," which sold 1,000,000 copies and topped at No. Three on the Poster advertisement charts. The tune was created by Elvin but sung by Mickey Thomas, the band's lead vocalist. The record was so large, the group even made an appearance on Dick Clark's "American Bandstand." Signing with Capricorn, the band was immediately lumped into the Southern Rock genre and toured continually with the Allmans, the Marshall Tucker Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd and the rest.
With the passing of Capricorn in 1980, Elvin was left searching for a new label home, and returned to his blues roots of his Chicago days and commenced playing more bare bones, gut bucket blues.
"I went through a dry spell on the recording side, but I usually kept a good band," Elvin recounted by phone this week from his home in Lagunitas.
He found a professional home in 2008 when he recorded "The Blues Rolls On" for Delta Groove Music, a label based in Southern California. That release garnered his Grammy nomination, and Elvin attended the awards rite in L. A. "Pinetop Perkins was also nominated in that category," Elvin recollects, "and since we were staying at the same hotel, we made a decision to go to the awards show in a limo. On the way to the show, Pinetop decides he requires a burger, so we whip into the closest McDonalds, and he gets out and returns with a bag of burgers. It is a great night."
However , neither of them won the award. "It went to one of the regular suspects," Elvin said, "Either B.B. Or Buddy Guy, I cannot remember, but we still had a good time."
The Mythical Blues Cruises are a great thing to do, according to Elvin. "You are on the boat for one week and all you need to do is 3 shows, and it is such a good way to begin to know other musicians," he says. "On the road, you are just passing a few hours at a gig or on the road, but on the boat, you get to hang together for a week, and it actually is a lot of fun."
His disk from the Blues Cruise, "Elvin Bishop's Raisin' Hell Revue" includes some Bishop classics like "Callin' All Cows," "The Night Time Is The Right Time," "What The Hell Is Goin' On," "Rock My Soul," "It Wounds Me Too" and his massive hit, "Fooled Around and Slipped in Love."
Those songs and more will be performed on Sat. night at the Uptown Theatre in Napa. Tickets are $35 and you can be sure Elvin Bishop and his crack band will rock your soul, writes tagza.com.
