Product Description
The Sunday Times, (Clive Davis), May 22, 2011
(4 stars) The American singer-guitarist is in characteristically soulful mood...Bibb digs into his gospel roots, too.
(4 stars) A masterful modern blues pairing...Astner adds a respectful edge to Bibb's articulate playing and storytelling...understated and sublime.
(4 stars) A wonderfully low-key set...almost flawless for sound quality...Bibb's vocals are as soothing and resourceful as ever.

I've been a fan of Eric's since his first two Opus 3 CDs and I've got half a dozen of his other albums and seen him live many times. This CD perfectly captures the atmosphere of his live gigs but the BIG bonus for me was the electric guitar playing of Staffan Astner which is superb throughout and perfectly complements Eric's own guitar and his beautiful vocals. I also really enjoyed the Sound Four gospel singers who joined Eric for "Thanks for the joy" and one of my all-time Bibb favourites "New world coming through". A good collection of material featuring old songs like "Tell Riley", "The cape" and "New world coming through", newer songs like "New home" from 'Booker's guitar' and other songs that I wasn't familiar with but for me it was Staffan Astner's guitar playing that really made this album special.

I have heard Eric Bibb perform in person on several occasions, but this is the first live recording of his I have heard . This clearly proves what a great performer he is and this CD is the closest to his live performances of which I am aware. Initially, I was rather taken aback when he stopped singing "Tell Riley" and started again, but this actually added to the sense of occasion and repeated hearings have convinced me that he his still playing at the top of his form. He must have made countless CDs over the years (certainly more than the number of his Wives, now six in total!), some of which I already owned and this is undoubtedly the best of my collection of his work. Long may he continue to share his unique talent with us.

Heard Eric Bibb live 3 years ago and only had his Diamond Days album. Bought this album after hearing a track on Radio 2.
Absolutely love it - Steffan Astner's guitar is simply amazing - so sympathetic to each track.
"Walkin' blues again" is worth the price of admission alone : I recommend listening to it through headphones.
Feel this album will be a firm favourite in our house for many years.
