"If there's only one Elvin Bishop CD to have, it's this one and it cherry picks the best tracks (imo) Bishop recorded during his tenure at Phil Walden's Capicorn Records (1972-78).



Don't expect a re-hash of The Paul Butterfield Blues Band here. Elvin was into soul, chitlin rock and funk with the occasional ballad thrown in during this period, so forget the twelve-bar white boy blues.



Bishop was his own man and did what he wanted to do. Good for him and this CDs proof of that."

Underrated guitarist!

"Mr bishop, if you are not aware of it, earned his apprenticeship with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. This would lead you to believe that perhaps this is worth the small investment and you would be right. This compilation is from his years with the capricorn label so what you have here is a combination of Blues/Southern Rock and the tunes jump along. A great cd."

The Best Elvin Bishop Anthology Ever

"This CD is the best anthology of Elvin Bishop's 70s heyday ever compiled. It features both his bluesier side, as is evident on "Travellin' Shoes", and his more pop-oriented hits such as "Fooled Around And Fell In Love." If you get this one, along with Bishop's CDs on Alligator and Blind Pig and his work with Paul Butterfield, you'll have all the Elvin Bishop you really need."
