Description

"The place where blues meets gospel and soul" is how Eric Bibb—the son of singer Leon Bibb and the nephew of pianist John Lewis of the Modern Jazz Quartet—describes the 12 tracks of this 2008 CD. "Those are profound words … that narrow down the message in many different sacred traditions," said NPR's Liane Hansen of its first track "Spirit I Am," which she dubs "new world gospel." The other songs include "New Beale Street Blues," "Conversation," and "Step by Step," the latter "inspired by a need to pay tribute to the work of Dr. King and his wife Coretta." "His music maintains its usual sincere link to the itinerant bluesmen who once played for spare change on dusty Southern streets, but without any of the cloying earnestness…. Bibb is poised to take his place on the short list of acoustic folk-blues stars, along with Taj Mahal, Keb' Mo', Alvin Youngblood Hart and Corey Harris."—Chicago Sun-Times
