Eric Bibb & Needed Time Spirit & The Blues Hybrid Multi-Channel & Stereo SACD

Eric Bibb & Needed Time - Spirit & The Blues 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! About him Eric has gathered a large number of musicians from rock, folk and blues and, last but least, "The Deacons" -- a gospel quintet from the USA which was actually formed while this recording was being made.
When Eric Bibb recorded his first album in Sweden, no one could have guessed what a terrific artist Jan-Eric Persson had discovered. The double album "Spirit & The Blues", released in 1994, marked the final international breakthrough for Eric Bibb. The album has been showered with critical acclaim and awards, including the prestigious US "Record To Die For" award. The vocal quartet The Deacons and "Needed Time", the Swedish backing band around guitar virtuoso Göran Wennerbrandt, make music congenially and develop a sure feeling for the right balance between virtuosity and restraint in a variety of different songs in order to make the character, message and arrangements of the songs seem natural. A terrific album! "It is a bull's eye in both audiophile and musical terms, making it a real treasure." - Audiophile 1/2000
