Sure Feels Good - Elvin Bishop

Sure Feels Good - Elvin Bishop
2:48
Juke Joint Jump, 1975
Written by Elvin Bishop?

I thought I'd give Elvin Bishop another try after the first time.  This song is less soul and more laid-back country rock, evoking some of the soft rock of the 1970s, again relying on strong female backing choruses.  And, as with "Rock My Soul," there's a bright-eyed optimism here.  "I never seen such a beautiful day / Looks like everything is coming my way / Feel like a bird just leaving a cage." What I've heard so far from Bishop is pleasant, catchy enough, but ultimately lightweight. Certainly, neither of the songs I've posted here have any narrative punch.  Stoners would groove to it.
