Critic Reviews
Show All-
Rock and Blues Muse
an unpretentious masterpiece, thanks to its simplicity and its heart
-
Blues Blast Magazine
few folks who’ve come before have made their statements as eloquently and whimsically as Elvin Bishop does in the title song of this intimate and entertaining CD
-
Chicago Blues Guide
Whether it’s mixing up musical styles to keep listener burnout at bay or simply laying out some irresistible lyrical hooks, “Something Smells Funky ‘Round Here” offers conclusive proof that the Big Fun Trio is living up to their name in a big way.
-
Glide Magazine
beautiful chaos, but the kind of chaos only experienced, solid musicians could create
-
Relix
But mostly, it’s all about the easy-going blues and soul that Bishop’s been hawking since he left the Paul Butterfield Blues Band decades ago
-
Elmore Magazine
This is music that is needed and wonderfully executed, powerfully structured and delivered.
-
American Blues Scene
Go for it they do, right from the opening title track. It’s a tongue-in-cheek State of the Union Address delivered with no holds barred. The lyrics are clever, but piercingly direct, and take aim at those in power.
-
Making a Scene
The Big Fun Trio continues to have fun and inspire each other while they make their own brand of Traditional Blues.
