| When Elvin Bishop left the Paul Butterfield Blues Band behind in 1968 and moved to California, he added the one ingredient missing from San Francisco's bubbling musical cauldron: nasty, down-home, electrified blues. Led by a man who believed in letting the good times roll, the Elvin Bishop Group were just what Doctor Feelgood ordered! Bishop, the guitar whiz who'd cut his teeth jamming with Chicago legends Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and Little Walter, immediately proved his band was an excellent fit in an S.F. scene where the Dead, Joplin, Santana and the Airplane still ruled supreme. |
