Elvin Bishop - live: Struttin' His Stuff

There are a few songs than can hold up, over time, shuttling between categories.  So, based on that - where should  we place Fooled Around and Fell in Love?  Country?  Western?  (is there a difference?)  Southern Rock?  Pop blues?  Mid-'70's AM heavy rotation radio?   All of the above, I would argue.  This is a double live album.  I like the studio version of FAAFIL only slightly better, but don't have it on vinyl.  The song was prduced by Bill Szymczyk, who you will know from early Eagles, Joe Walsh, James Gang records.   Elvin Bishop - "he sure can play."

Special Note:  Saturday, May 1st is National Homebrewers Day.  Make and/or drink some beer.  Jimmy Carter signed into law the legalization of at-home beer making for personal comsumption in 1979.  So, he's got that going for him; which is nice.
