Elvin Bishop: Elvin Bishop’s Raisin’ Hell Revue
ByWhile Bishop has remained active since the 1970s, he has not garnered the attention of that period. He became a blues novelty in the 2000s, recording several albums for Alligator Records. He has parlayed this niche to the cruise ship circuit, recording live Elvin Bishop's Raisin' Hell Revue where rather than pepper standards with his "hits" he peppers his "hits" with some standards. "The Night Time is the Right Time" and "It Hurts Me Too" are the standards, dispatched with able aplomb by Bishop and band.
Bishop hops through "Callin' All Cows," "Rock My Soul" and "What the Hell is Goin' On" spinning off copious amounts of his tasty and instantly recognizable lead and slide guitar. If there is a disappointment on this recording, it is that Bishop did not perform "Travelin' Shoes" (a concert staple from Let It Flow. That would have been the white gravy. At 68, Bishop remains in salad days voice, chops intact.
