Rock My Soul, 1972
Written by Elvin Bishop?
A nice slice of blue-eyed soul liberally laced with Southern rock and New Orleans boogie-style horns. Bishop was a founding member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. This song is a feel-good celebration of the power of music to energize you. The lyric is simple but enthusiastic. "When you listen to the music / Let it sink into you / You'd be surprised to find out / How much good that little bit can do you." The horns and a powerhouse female backing vocal are doing a lot of the heavy lifting for this song; Bishop's easy, good-time guitar work makes him less the showboating frontman here than the ringleader of a small, jubilant revival.
