Elvin Bishop was natural in Glendale, CA, on October 21, 1942. He grew up on a farm in Iowa with no electricity and no running water. His folk stirred to Oklahoma when he was ten. Raised in an all-White community of interests, he had no exposure to Blacks or their music demur though the radio where he would hear to sounds from far aside Mexico and blues stations in Shreveport, LA, in special, the piercing levelheaded of Jimmy Reed's mouth harp got his attention. Bishop says it was like a crossword puzzle teaser that he had to number out. What is this music? Who makes it? Where and how do Black hoi polloi live? What is this music all around? He assign the pieces together.

Just it was not until he won a National Merit Scholarship to the University of Chicago in 1959 that he launch the real answers to his questions. Suddenly, there he was correct in the bosom of the Chicago blues scene. Live. It was a dream come true. "The low gear thing I did when I got there was to pull in friends with the mordant guys working in the cafeteria. They took me to all the clubs. I washed-up myself wholly in the vapours life as ready as I could," says Bishop.

After two age of college, he simply dropped extinct and was into euphony full meter. Howlin' Wolf guitarist Smokey Smothers befriended Bishop and taught him the basics of blues guitar. In the early '60s he met and teamed up with Paul Butterfield to become the essence of the Butterfield Blues Band. Although only playing guitar for a few eld, he practiced day and dark on the blues music that he loved. He and Butterfield played together in exactly about every place possible -- campuses, houses, parks, and clubs. They began to become well known in 1963 when they took a job at Big John's on Chicago's North Side and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band was born. Bishop helped to create and played on the number one several Butterfield albums. (The Pigboy Crabshaw is Bishop's countryfied role referred to in the title of the third base Butterfield album.)

When he left the Butterfield isthmus subsequently the In My Own Dream album (1968), Bishop relocated to and settled in the San Francisco area where he appeared often at the Filmore with artists care Eric Clapton, B. B. King, and Jimi Hendrix. He recorded for Epic (quatern albums) and subsequently sign-language with Capricorn in 1974. His recording of "Travel Shoes" (from the album Let It Flow) hit the charts, simply he scored big with the endearing melody "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" (from his album Struttin' My Stuff) in 1976. He was (and is) illustrious for having fun on leg (putt on a swell demonstrate) and letting the good times roll up. Over the next few age the Elvin Bishop Group dissolved. He released his album Best Of in 1979, and was not heard from practically until he gestural with Alligator in 1988.

Bishop then released Big Fun (1988) and Don't Let the Bossman Get You Down (1991), which were well standard. He as well participated in Alligator's 1992 twentieth Anniversary cross-country tour. His up-to-the-minute release is Ace in the Hole (1995). Over the age, Bishop has graced the albums of many great bluesmen including Clifton Chenier and John Lee Hooker. He toured with B.B. King in 1995. Bishop is known for his sense of sense of humour, his unique way of slide guitar, and fusion of blues, creed, R&B, and country flavors. He lives with his wife and household in the San Francisco area, is a colossal gardener, and continues to meet dates in the U.S. and afield, issue The Skin I'm In in 1998.

Terra Firma

Year: 2007

Over the course of nine-spot years, Wolfstone dragged Scottish music -- sometimes kicking and screaming, only invariably quite an obstreperously -- into the world of rock 'n' roll. They were loud and proud and transferred Seattle's filth ethic from the Pacific Northwest to the Highlands, applying it to both traditional and their original music. It all began when tinkerer Duncan Chisholm put together a ceilidh band to play dances in the Highlands, adding pipes and bass and drums into the mix -- a compounding that was well-received. Along with original bassist David Foster, Chisholm brought in Stuart Eaglesham on guitars, his brother Struan Eaglesham on keyboards, and the guitarist/songwriter Ivan Drever to round of golf out the lineup.

The group's 1991 debut, Unleashed, proved to be the biggest vendor ever for bantam Iona Records, garnering the band a silver platter (iI to begin with collections, Wolfstone I and Wolfstone II, circulated one time the band became famous. However, they distanced themselves from the material, recorded in their very formative stages). A year later they issued The Chase and took their more developed effectual international, with a more refined mix of blatant instrumentals grounded by the heavy cycle section and Drever's songs, including "The Prophet" and "Tinnie Run." They played around Europe and made their kickoff maraud to America, a station they'd visit several times over the side by side few age. Wolfstone: Captured Alive Video, a video of their alive show from the period, illustrates the power of their performances -- not to a fault subtle, simply able to catch to the the great unwashed.

1994 brought two U.S. releases, Wolfstone and the massive Year of the Dog, which had spate of scraunch on songs like "The Sea King." It also introduced iI new members, Wayne MacKenzie on bass part, and Steve Saint on pipes. It made them into even more than of a careen band, and producer Phil Cunningham let the guitars ring loud and deformed. The Half Tail, two geezerhood later, had a richer, slicker well-grounded, with one verbalize standout piece, "Bonnie Ship the Diamond." It put a raw stamp on Scots music. Unfortunately, the stamp in the buff but a yr by and by, thanks in large part to problems with the platter ship's company and management squabbles. However, that was far from the end of the tale. Drever and Chisholm worked together, and 1998 and 1999 both brought new Wolfstone albums, This Strange Place and Seven (the first reportedly a contract-filler), undermentioned on from a best-of set. While the stripe has played occasional shows since, they've non gotten back together.
