Booty Bumpin'
Elvin Bishop
Blind Pig
Any new album from Bishop is cause for celebration, and a live one even more so. His last live record was seven years ago, a reunion with Smokey Smothers, the Howlin’ Wolf guitarist who mentored Bishop in the early ’60s after he first arrived in Chicago.
From his stint sharing lead guitar duties with Mike Bloomfield in the Paul Butterfield Blues Band; to his glory years as a solo artist with Epic Records and later Southern-rock label Capricorn; to his Alligator Records back-to-the-blues phase that followed a decade-long dry spell, Bishop consistently has made one great disc after another.
“Booty” is no exception. It was culled from an evening in December at Constable Jack’s, a Northern California restaurant and blues club in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The material is old and new; vocal and instrumental (three, to be exact); original and covers (Roy Milton’s “Keep a Dollar in Your Pocket,” Junior Parker’s “I Feel Alright Again” and Allen Toussaint’s “I’m Gone.”)
And, of course, there’s plenty of Bishop’s trademark slide guitar, which probably has brought millions of smiles to people’s faces.
