Those of us in the over 40 crowd probably remember Evlin Bishop most for his 1976 hit, Fooled Around and Fell in Love, though I'd say that his most important work was with the ground-breaking Paul Butterfield Blues band back in the '60's. Lesser-known stints, however, include a role in the legendary Allman Brothers' Fillmore Concerts.
For a good taste of some of Elvin's work, take a listen to Travelin' Shoes (and, no, it's not the Little Feat song--it's an Elvin original):
In any event, Elivin's mogging, now. It looks to be largely a promotional effort, and the one cut he's posted, a remake of Struttin' My Stuff, featuring Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes, has a very nice groove to it. I'm now looking forward to the album's release in September.

I'll have to look up Little Feat's "Travelin' Shoes," because this is the song I remember from the Southern Rock wave. (As in: Capricorn Records, The Allman Brothers, etc.) It sounds as great now as it did back then. A nice break from serious stuff; and now back to Thelonious Monk & John Coltrane doing "Off Minor" in 1957.
