Eric Bibb: Where to start?

[GavinB]

Thought I might have a listen to some Eric Bibb. Where should I start?

[GrahamK]

One of my favourites… might have to play it next

[Jack]

In no particular order…

Spirit & The Blues

Painting Signs

Natural Light

[GraemeH]

‘Diamond Days’ & ‘Roadworks’ another two worth having.

Spirit and the blues.

It’s a modern classic. Beautiful recorded, too.

An hour ago I was like, who’s Eric Bibb ?, fast forward a journey through Roon, what a find, thanks guys.
Great playing, soulful… and great production.

[GavinB]

Thanks for the suggestions, folks. Should keep me occupied for a while.

[Terry]

Blues People is pretty good imho

Eric Bibb - Live à fip.

A live broadcast from Radio fip, this 2 CD offering is live Eric at his best, and Disc #2 is just stunning.

[Guinnless]

Anything by Eric Bibb is great!

After damaging Spirit and the Blues doing some unplanned juggling whilst cleaning records I bought a new signed copy from his website. And got a nice email from his wife too letting me know it had been despatched.

It’s always nice to fund the artist directly

Qobuz currently has Eric Bibb on special offer with some great discounts.

[Mike-B]

Problem with Qobuz is they don’t have Spirit and the Blues, it’s the one album I would like to add to my Eric Bibb collection but not at mad prices or dodgy download vendors.
If anyone has a suggestion, let me know.

[Guinnless]

Yep it’s only on Tidal. Out of stock on Eric’s online shop too.

I finally found a copy, Spirit and The Blues, 24/96 FLAC, I found it on one of those download vendors that has regular speed “premium” and very slow “free” services. I tried the free & although it took 6 hours it is a real good quality file. The original was recorded in 1994, this is remastered in 2014 so I’m assuming its taken from the SACD & DSD re-release.
All I can say is it’s Eric Bibb at his best, highly recommended.

[AndyP]

Very interesting a few things that I would dearly love as a FLAC download - but get as far a hovering over the download button then think twice - there’s no such thing as a free lunch and that’s as far as I get - glad that worked for you.
