Elvin keeps the cornpone good-ole-boy schtick down to an acceptable level on this, perhaps his most serious solo album to date. Although Bishop's good-time approach is still evident on tunes like "I'm Gone," "Right Now Is the Hour," the acoustic "Radio Boogie" (with a guest shot from Charlie Musselwhite) and "Country Blues," the playing and lyrics get much deeper and more serious with "Shady Lane," "The Skin They're In," "Middle Aged Man" and "Long Shadows." Perhaps the most cohesive album he's made to date, revealing an artist coming to grips with his muse, his age and his art, all at once. ~ Cub Koda

Entertainment Weekly (9/25/98, p.106) - "...Even if his drunken-hillbilly warble isn't the stuff of top 10 records, Bishop's crispy, bluesy guitar playing, witting songwriting, and I'm-just-a-rube-who-loves-to-rock persona remain formidable assets. And the sheer, unpretentious joy he communicates is enough to convince you he's really a self-help guru in disguise."

BACKGROUND: I was born in Philadelphia and grew up in the suburb of Newtown Square. As a young teenager, my brother introduced me to the music of Bob Dylan and that was my doorway into my own musical adventure. In high school I often frequented The Main Point folk club, getting to hear people like Dave Van Ronk, Chris Smither, Tom Rush, Tim Buckley, Steve Goodman, Muddy Waters and many more. After attending college at Franklin & Marshall in Lancaster, PA, I formed a rock and rhythm & blues band named The Speedboys which gained a widespread regional following and national critical acclaim. After the breakup of The Speedboys, I have continued to make music in various small group formats; most recently playing acoustic guitar accompanied by a multi-instrumentalist on guitar, mandolin & dobro. And most recently adding Mrs Bobby on bass to form a trio.EXPERIENCE: I have performed in both electric bands and as an acoustic duo for over 30 years. RECENT ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCESOpening ...
