Don't Let the Bossman Get You Down!

Elvin Bishop

Gritty slide guitar and working-class wit. A warm, unpretentious blend of Chicago blues and Southern rock that feels like a Saturday night at a local dive bar.

July 1, 1991 · Alligator Records

A resilient, humorous defiance against life's daily grinds, wrapped in warm blues-rock.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sharp, stinging slide guitar solo on Devil’s Slide that cuts through the mix like a hot knife.
The way the saxophone punctuates the blue-collar frustration in the title track's chorus.
The slow, whiskey-soaked piano intro of My Whiskey Head Buddies that sets a somber barroom mood.
