Elvin Bishop - Let It Flow (1974)

For his fourth album, Elvin Bishop organized a new backup group and switched to Capricorn Records. Capricorn was known as the standard bearer of the Southern rock movement--the Allman Brothers Band, The Marshall Tucker Band, etc.--and Bishop was able to emphasize the country/blues aspects of his persona and his music in the move from Marin County, California, to Macon, Georgia. 

Pour son quatrième album, Elvin Bishop a constitué un nouveau groupe d'accompagnement  et est passé à Capricorn Records. Capricorn était connu comme le porte-étendard du mouvement rock sudiste - l'Allman Brothers Band, le Marshall Tucker Band, etc - et Bishop était capable de mettre en valeur les aspects country / blues de son personnage et sa musique dans son déplacement de Marin County, en Californie, à Macon, en Géorgie.
