These days, true blues-men are in short supply. The music that was so influential in spawning rock and roll has left the limelight, but Elvin Bishop’s latest release Red Dog Speaks proves that the blues is alive. After his critically acclaimed 2008 album, The Blues Roles On, Bishop and his Gibson 6-string are at it again, highlighting Bishop’s unique story-telling style and ballsy slide playing. Red Dog Speaks features a ferocious blend of blues, rock, boogie, doo-wop, and gospel with a pocket as deep as the Grand Canyon.

It sure is great to have you back. I missed all the great music you share with us. Have you ever heard of Don "sugarcane" Harris? He is a great blues and jazz violin player.
