For fans of electric blues, Elvin Bishop is a bit of a legend, and has been busy on the road longer than most. He got started in the early '60s with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, then later started his own group, the Elvin Bishop Group. Influenced both by rock & roll and classic blues, he has taken these elements, along southern-rock, funk, country and roots-rock and created a sound that plays both to blues purists and veers into wholly unique territory. He scored the hit single with his mellow rock song "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" in 1976, showing that he also has some impressive pop chops. (Amulya Datla)
