Blue Folk

I found Eric Bibb almost by accident, while at a Blues festival in 2006. I only saw his performance because I was trying to get a good seat to see a later performer. I am so glad I got to see and hear Eric. He had no band, just him and his acoustic guitar. He was incredible. Every song has a story, which he shares (and I like that). He has a wonderful depth of knowledge about Blues history, and educates his audience as he entertains them, without making it feel like school. Of course, this is a studio album, not live, but I do suggest giving him a try.

Fresh Jazz: Beneath the Underdog and Across the Spectrum

By Britt Robson, eMusic Contributor

A selection of the standout tracks from the best new releases in jazz on eMusic. From the oldest school to the newest thing, torch songs to Cubop, this first edition takes an open-minded but semi-purist (no "smooth jazz" thank you) approach to the most notable jazz releases from the first half of 2011. Yes, stylistically it is all over the map: That's why jazz is known as "the sound of surprise." more »

Home to Me is the forth U.S. release from acoustic roots chameleon Eric Bibb. These 13 tracks, the majority penned by Bibbs, encompass his deep musical debt to folk (maintaining a healthy dose of his early Woody Guthrie influence), soul (a respectful cover of Sam Cooke’s “Bring It on Home to Me”), and gospel, underscored by a consistent blues base, not unlike the first Keb Mo disc. Bibb combines his poetic flair with political concerns and universal issues on “Mandela Is Free,” “World War Blues,” and “Walk the Walk,” while special guest Taj Mahal is featured on the concluding duet “Sing Your Song.” – Al Campbell
