Expatriate blues singer/songwriter Eric Bibb's catalog (thus far) consists of 37 albums over nearly 50 years. Since the pandemic, he's released three excellent studio albums: Dear America (2021), Ridin' (2023), and In the Real World (2024). The latter marked his debut with London's Repute Records. 2026's One Mississippi also on Repute, reflects his remarkably consistent late career run. One Mississippi was recorded, written and produced in Uppsala by longtime collaborator Glen Scott, who also plays a truckload of instruments. While standard instrumentation governs the session, there are also two harmonicists, hardanger, and octave fiddles. In reverently transforming traditional blues forms, Bibb still frames their origins in suffering. He's a conduit, a western griot, telling their stories, sounds, and emotions. His voice has lost none of its smooth elasticity. The modern production perfectly balances folk-blues traditions and Americana with funky soul and gospel. Aside from the title track which was written by Janis Ian and Fred Koller, Bibb and Scott composed all 13 others. The songs are naturally socio-political; Bibb's father and greatest influence Leon Bibb was a folk singer and activist who marched with Dr. King. For him, civic engagement is organic.
