The Big Fun Trio (Elvin on guitar and vocals, Willy Jordan on cajon and vocals, and Bob Welsh on guitar and piano) forges a new blues and R&B sensibility, colored by the distinctive, stripped-down instrumentation and shot through with Elvin’s exuberant, down home vibe. There are seven Bishop originals here (including a remake of the title track from his Ace In The Hole release), plus Lightnin’ Hopkin’s Honey Babe, Fats Domino’s Let The Four Winds Blow, Sunnyland Slim’s It’s You, Baby, and Bobby Womack’s It’s All Over Now. Charlie Musselwhite, Rick Estrin and Kim Wilson guest.
I first came across Elvin Bishop when he was the original guitarist with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, after four albums with Butter he left and moved to the West Coast to start his own band. He is a capable guitarist but a limited singer and over the years I've liked some of his work but I think that he has also produced some average stuff - his saving grace however, is a desire to entertain and amuse. The Big Fun Trio is Elvin on guitar and vocals, Willy Jordan on cajon and vocals and Elvin's usual bass player Bob Welsh on guitar and piano.
I liked the stripped down instrumentation (although the guys are also joined by ace harp players Charlie Musselwhite, Kim Wilson and Rick Estrin on one track each) which nonetheless still rocks like mad, there is also Elvin's sense of humour - evident on his songs like "100 Years of Blues" with Mr. Musselwhite and "That's What I'm Talking About". However, the opener "Keep On Rollin'" while seeming like a feel good party song also has a few home truths about American politicians. You can also tell that the guys are really enjoying themselves on songs like Fats Domino's "Let The Four Winds Blow" and Bobby Womack's "It's All Over Now" which features great guitar playing from Bishop and Welsh.
Elvin also finds time to rework Lightnin' Hopkins' “Honey Babe" which was included on his 1975 album 'Let It Flow" - and appears here as a rocking Western Swing stomper. There are two instrumentals "Delta Lowdown" with nice country blues harp from from Rick Estrin and more easy rolling piano and "Southside Slide" featuring Elvin on slide guitar. My favourite track was probably Sunnyland Slim's "It's You, Baby" with its great blues harp from Kim Wilson, stunning piano playing from Welch and Jordan's wailing vocals - although there isn't a bad track here and I was genuinely surprised by how much I liked this record.Review by G.
