Summary:
"The follow-up to his multiple award-winning, critically acclaimed 2021 album, Dear America is a continuation of the vision that informs Bibb's artistry as a modern-day Blues troubadour. Grounded in the folk and blues tradition with contemporary sensibilities, Bibb's music continues to reflect his thoughts on current world events and his own lived experiences, whilst remaining entertaining, uplifting, inspirational and relevant. A two-time Grammy Award nominee with multiple Blues Foundation awards, Eric Bibb is known and revered globally for having carved his own musical destiny with honesty and power. Eric's father, the late Leon Bibb, was an activist, actor, and folk singer who marched at Selma with Dr. Martin Luther King. Eric's youth was spent immersed in the Greenwich Village folk scene. He was deeply influenced by Odetta, Richie Havens, and Taj Mahal, who guests on this, and he has synthesized all of that into his very own style."
