Eric Bibb

I owe Eric Bibb an apology. Initially I was reluctant to even listen to this album, far less review it. The reason? Well, at some point in the dim and distant I heard a bit of Bibb, and put him down as a purveyor of the kind of twee, folky acoustic blues that turns me right off. Well, however true or not that judgement may have been at the time, it certainly isn’t a fair reflection of Ridin’.
