Something smells funky 'round here

"Something Smells Funky 'Round Here arrives just in time to compliment this summer's pig pickin's, cookouts, beach trips, afternoons at the lake, or backyard parties. It also proves not only that the Big Fun Trio wasn't just a one-off, but that after well over 50 years in the business, Elvin Bishop is still struttin' his stuff - and having big fun while doing it".

"Bishop couldn't have put together a better group if they'd been handed down from heaven on a silver platter ... Something Smells Funky 'Round Here was produced by Bishop and Steve Savage and recorded at Bishop's Hog Heaven Studio in Lagunitas, California. It has a street date of July 13th, and if it isn't immediately in your collection, there may be something wrong with your soul".

"Bishop, guitar and vocals, formed The Big Fun Trio in late 2015. Rounding out the threesome are Bob Welsh, guitar, piano and organ; and Willy Jordan, percussion and vocals. Jordan's primary instrument is the Peruvian Cajon, a drum box, which can sometimes sound like a full drum set. Their self titled first album received a 2018 BMA nomination as Traditional Blues Album of The Year. This follow-up is Bishop's twenty-first studio album and twenty-ninth overall ... The Big Fun Trio continues to have fun and inspire each other while they make their own brand of Traditional Blues".

"When Bishop's Big Fun Trio released their self-titled debut last year, listeners got to hear Bishop perform in a stripped-down format that upped the musicianship. Something Smells Funky Round Here, the trio's new release, features more of the tight chemistry and joyous camaraderie that made their debut so memorable ... Elvin Bishop's Big Fun Trio clearly loves making music together, and it's great to hear a veteran like Bishop sound so invigorated in the studio".
