Big Fun

Elvin Bishop

Sun-drenched slide guitar and gravelly vocals. A playful, unpretentious blend of Chicago blues grit and back-porch Southern storytelling.

It's the ultimate backyard barbecue soundtrack if your uncle was a world-class blues guitarist.

A sun-soaked, humorous celebration of rural life and classic blues traditions.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The dry, witty delivery of the 'My Dog' chorus where the guitar mimics a hound's howl.
The barrelhouse piano solo on 'Beer Drinking Woman' that sounds like a Saturday night in 1955.
The transition into the slide guitar solo on 'Oklahoma Country Girl' that captures a pure Southern twang.
