Blues Legend Elvin Bishop Announces New Album and Tour - A Top Story This Week
. Red Dog Speaks follows 2008's The Blues Rolls On, which earned him a Grammy nomination and four 2009 Blues Music Award nominations. Red Dog Speaks features five new Bishop originals plus songs by Jimmy Cliff, Otis Spann, Leroy Carr, and others. The title track tells the story of his '59 Gibson Stereo ES 345 guitar, nicknamed "Red Dog." The album proves full of hooks and humor as well, such as on Bishop's "Fat And Sassy." Buckwheat Zydeco lends his accordion to "Blues Cruise" which also features excellent guitar work by Tommy Castro and Ronnie Baker Brooks; the track was recorded live on the high seas. The traditional gospel tune "His Eye Is On The Sparrow" gets the Bishop slide treatment. He plays solo on "Clean Livin'," a reflection on his younger lifestyle and a highlight of the album. - more on this story Share this article on Twitter Preview and Purchase Elvin Bishop CDs |
