Blues guitar master Elvin Bishop — newly inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame — will appear on TBS’ CONAN on Monday, May 11. The legendary
guitarist will sit in with Jimmy Vivino and the Basic Cable Band for the
duration of the show.
Last month, Bishop was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the
groundbreaking music he made with The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Bishop’s
latest solo album, Can’t Even Do Wrong Right, has been
hailed as the best of his long career. Rolling Stone says the CD is
“among Bishop’s very best…Impeccable playing by a legendary guitarist…engaging
singing and most notably, good spirits…a great showing for a distinguished
American player.”
Can’t Even Do Wrong Right finds Bishop playing,
writing and singing some of the most distinctive blues and roots music today.
The album 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
inventive playing, easygoing vocals, witty lyrics and good-time humor.
In addition to his new album and his Rock Hall induction, Bishop’s 1975 hit
Fooled Around And Fell In Love found new life in the 2014 box-office
smash Guardians Of The Galaxy. The soundtrack hit #1 on the
Billboard Top 200 chart and received a Grammy Award nomination.
