Hwy 321 Blues Album of the Month: Review

ERIC BIBB – IN THE REAL WORLD
(Stony Plain Records)

A troubadour for the ages, acoustic master Eric Bibb delivers a sonic masterpiece with his latest CD. It’s a quiet, deeply moving effort that delves deeply into his life experience while delivering a self-portrait that describes his past, where he’s headed and his hopes and dreams for mankind, too.
Every note, every phrase, every syllable of this disc is filled to the brim with emotion and subtle observations. And although Eric’s laid-back delivery is quiet and reserved throughout, it always packs a punch that demands your attention throughout.
Don’t miss “Take the Stage,” “Walk Steady On,” “Everybody’s Got a Right,” “Make a Change,” “This River (Chains & Free),” “Stealin’ Home,” “King of the Castle,” “Neshoba County,” “Roll on Buddy,” “Judgement Day,” “The Real World” and “Victory Voices.”
