Eric Bibb Jericho Road(blues)(mp3@320)[alekhyadas]

Eric Bibb - Jericho Road
Released : 14 October 2013
Label : Stony Plain
Format : Mp3@320




With this new effort, Eric Bibb gives a personal vision of today’s world in his own poetic and contemporary way. Born and raised in New York, Bibb has traveled the planet extensively. He describes the people of this earth at length here, conjuring their conflicts and hardships, as well as their compassion, tolerance and empathy. “Jericho Road” was produced by Glen Scott, a young Englishman originally from Jamaica endowed with outstanding talent and creativity. Scott’s lavish musical arrangements and attention to sound make this new recording an exceptionally fine production. Eric gives a whole new meaning to the blues of the 21st Century, proving that the genre remains as lively and relevant as ever. Jericho Road is an event in itself, and a superlative album.

A tireless performer and outstanding singer and guitarist, in both acoustic and electric formats, Eric Bibb has become one of the most loved and celebrated musicians working in the blues/American roots music field.

For this album, which took several years to come to fruition, he has further expanded his soulful gospel-infused palette to include new flavours and sounds.

As Eric acknowledges … there is an underlying theme throughout my repertoire. It has to do with looking at the world, looking at the trouble in the world and wanting to say something about it
