Description
It's not possible to grow up a bigger folkie than Eric Bibb. His father Leon was a big deal in the NYC folk scene, Pete Seeger used to hang around the house, and young Eric got guitar advice from Dylan. So what happens when a singer-songwriter raised on '60s idealism finds the blues? In Eric Bibb's case, an injection of hope and downright good feeling into a genre known for its bad vibrations. The mood is almost closer to gospel, but the sound is unmistakably blues. He abandoned the killing floor of '60s American blues music by the end of the decade, while in his teens, and still lives and works in Europe and the UK. He stays close to the patented acoustic style that's won him a closet full of blues awards and a Grammy nomination. - Steve Palopoli sanjose.comComments
