Eric Bibb & Needed Time Spirit & The Blues 180g 45rpm 2LP (Vinyl)

Featured in Michael Fremer's Heavy Rotation in the February 2001 Issue of Stereophile!

Spirit & The Blues is a real odyssey of Eric's music. Here we find everything from black Mississippi blues to spirituals, ballads, country and even reggae - sometimes with an almost electrified swing, but guaranteed "unplugged" in the finest Opus 3 tradition! Eric has gathered a large number of musicians from rock, folk and blues and, last but not least, "The Deacons" -- a gospel quintet from the USA which was actually formed while this recording was being made.
