" The Elvin Bishop Group "
USA - FILLMORE RECORDS - 30001
top copy
Original 1969 very first Elvin Bishop Group Lp. The legendary guitarist, having relocated to the San Francisco scene, after his glories as part of the twin guitar line-up in the Butterfield Blues Band w/ Michael Bloomfield.
Here is where Elvin Bishop first relocated to San Francisco. He formed his own band, signed to Bill Graham's fledgling "Fillmore" record label, and became a popular Bay Area musical mainstay. To Bishop's credit, he did not dominate all the new band's material and they developed a repertoire that included a wide range of musical styles that often showcased the other members of the band, namely female vocalist Jo Baker, who becomes the focal point on much of the band's earlier material. Also of particular note is keyboard player Stephen Miller (NOT to be confused with Steve Miller Band leader), an incredibly talented musician who was a ubiquitous presence on the San Francisco jam scene. The Lp is filled with solid Chicago styled blues-rock - both the hard, driving kind and the soft, mellow kind, and with the style, Bishop found a home within the circle of San Francisco's "ballroom" popular acts. Bishop, former guitarist with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band (1965-1968), formed this new group in January, 1969, auditioned for Fillmore West in March and joined Bill Graham's Millard Agency the following month. The group's four members, with widely varied backgrounds in blues, jazz, R&B, and rock, combine these styles in their own music - basically blues, but also original compositions which they say are "unclassifiable" and "indefinable"
