Big Fun is an album by the American blues musician Elvin Bishop, released by the Alligator label in 1988.[1] [2]
AllMusic reviewer William Ruhlmann stated that "this record, which, naturally, emphasizes his more blues-oriented guitar playing, although without sacrificing his country boy identity". The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings wrote: "These albums have a quality rarely encountered in records of their type - personality. Much of that is down to the garrulity of Bishop's singing and his quirky angular guitar solos ... If the albums have fault, it's Bishop's inclination to indulge in his own form of blues-rap ... it's pleasant enough but it's an easy way out".[3]
