Elvin Bishop - Something Smells Funky 'Round Here [CD]

Elvin and his Big Fun Trio-mates (Willy Jordan on cajon and vocals, Bob Welsh on guitar and piano) serve up a fresh new helping of their good ‘n’ greasy blues and R&B, highlighted by the title track, a comic State of the Union address as only the blues and Southern Rock legend can deliver.  Album includes four additional new originals, Big Fun Trio takes on Elvin’s Right Now Is The Hour, Jackie Wilson’s (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher & Higher, Ann Peebles’ I Can’t Stand The Rain and more.  "Deceptively loose but always tight...the raspy chuckle in Bishop’s singing and the sharp sting of his guitar are forceful and fresh, enduring and fun." –Fresh Air, NPR
