ELVIN BISHOP INDUCTED INTO THE OKLAHOMA MUSIC HALL OF FAME
Blues guitarist/vocalist Elvin Bishop will be inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall Of Fame on Saturday, November 1, 2014 in a ceremony at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, OK. Other inductees this year include J.J. Cale, Jim Keltner, Chuck Blackwell and Lowell Fulson.
Bishop has had a very busy 2014. Aside from releasing his critically acclaimed new Alligator Records CD, Can't Even Do Wrong Right,, his 1975 hit Fooled Around And Fell In Love found new life in the box-office smash Guardians Of The Galaxy. The soundtrack hit #1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. To top it off, Bishop was again nominated, as a member of The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, to The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
Can't Even Do Wrong Right finds Bishop playing, writing and singing some of the most spirited and distinctive blues and roots music today. The CD proves that Bishop is as vital and creative an artist now as he was when he first hit the national scene in 1965 with The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. He is as slyly good-humored and instantly crowd-pleasing as he was when he was scoring Southern rock-styled hits during the 1970s. For five decades, he has never stopped touring or releasing instantly recognizable music featuring his groundbreaking playing, easygoing vocals, witty lyrics and good-time humor.
