* Digipack

Vor ein paar Jahren fand sich Eric Bibb nach dem Konzert in einem Londoner Hotel ein, als er von einem Fan angesprochen wurde, der einen Gitarrenkoffer mit sich trug. In dem Koffer: die originale Resonator Steelbody-Gitarre aus den 30er Jahren, die der Blueslegende Booker T. White gehörte. Verständlich, dass dies einen besonderen Eindruck auf Bibb machte. Die Begegnung führte zu einem Album, dass jetzt mit dem Titel »Booker’s Guitar« veröffentlicht wird. Darauf fängt Eric Bibb in seiner unnachahmlichen Weise den Geist des frühen Deltablues ein, und transportiert ihn in das 21. Jahrhundert.

Rezensionen

"The acoustic blues revival is in safe hands. Much like Taj Mahal, Eric Bibb has been mining a rich seam, although one with a stronger gospel-folk tinge. His latest collection — inspired by an encounter with a steel-body guitar belonging to the legend better known in some circles as Bukka White — yields some of his earthiest work to date." (Sunday Times)

"I heard a couple of his songs, especially “Booker’s Guitar” and “Turning Pages” on KPIG. I liked them, so I got this record. It is so awesome I can’t say enough. He plays country blues guitar like nobody’s business, has a wonderful rich voice which is a joy to hear and can write a mean blues song. There is not a weak song on this record. The guy is for real and is the BEST blues artist I have heard in years." (christiansonic. net)

"This is a gently swinging and thoughtful bluesy album for a cold winter night and a double shot of Jim Beam Black. Both neat. Enjoy them together." (post-gazette. com)
