Synopsis

Album Description
When Elvin Bishop left the Butterfield Blues Band in 1968 and moved to California, he added the one ingredient missing from San Francisco's bubbling musical cauldron - nasty, down-home, electrified blues. The Elvin Bishop Group's self-titled debut from 1969, their 1970 sophomore effort Feel It! and their third longplayer, 1972's Rock My Soul, are just what Doctor Feelgood ordered from the guitar whiz who'd cut his teeth jamming with Chicago legends Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and Little Walter. Includes the bonus track 'Sit And Wonder' (previously unreleased). Sundazed. 2002.

Elvin's Unique(and superb) But Forgotten Album
Ryan J. Darcy | 05/30/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Stephen Arnade Palm Bay,FL This is absolutely a Superb Album From The 1970's. The album ROCK MY SOUL is one those gems of music that never received the recognition when initially released. This is not your typical Elvin Bishop album, with focus on great rock-and-roll with a R&B influence. Released in 1972, this album seemed to have Elvin working well with Jo Baker. They just sparked each other. Jo Baker great singing talent comes across on the song "Rock Bottom", where she sings lead. The song "Stomp" shows the great guitar playing talent of Elvin Bishop. The song "Don't Mind If I Do" showcases the song writing talent of Elvin."
Underappreciated

"The highlight of this album is without a doubt the interplay of Jo Baker and Elvin Bishop. Elvin's focus shifted from zeaulous guitar work to songwriting. In my opinion, that gives it a lot of strength, making it without a doubt Bishop's best album. Fans of Van Morrison's 70's work will enjoy this album as well."
