CD Reviews

More Good Stuff From Bibb!
deepbluereview | SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA USA | 09/26/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Natural Light is a slight departure from other Bibb releases and contains some nice smooth jazz/blues tunes such as "Home Lovin' Man" and "Tell Riley" as well as some very good ragtime, soul, zydeco and some spiritual stuff all mixed together. The CD consists of 13 tunes with 10 originals and 3 covers, Randy Newman's "Everytime It Rains", Jon Randall Stewart's tired "Circles" and the out of place, "Higher and Higher." Interestingly, Bibb's original compositions are so good that they overshadow the weak cover selections rendering those covers to mere filler on the disc. Bibb's vocals are as soft and soulful as ever and the performance is excellent. The disc could have stood alone with just the original compositions."
A voice that is smooth like butter!

"I went on a very long car trip with only this CD. I thought I would get sick of it but instead I kept on singing to it as the miles rolled on. I now count two of these songs as my all time favourites. Eric Bibb really grows on you and this CD is great because there is a real mix of nice slow easy listening songs and toe tappin, spoon smacking, good tunes."
Great stuff

"First off, I'm surprised there are so few reviews of this cd and on this guy. I only heard of him through a collaborative work he did with Maria Maldaurr and Rory Block called "Brothers & Sisters" which I strongly recommend if you are a Bibb fan.



He's a great musician and in time I'm sure his lyrics will get better. Some are just so predictable but he's got the right sentiment(s) and his heart is there - front and center.



I don't know why this is so different from other works - I've only heard Painting Signs but haven't yet had a chance to really LISTEN to it. I think I need a road trip, endless scenery and a good sound system. But for here and now -- man, he had me hooked from the first song.



I've got too much stuff also, but not enough music. I need to hear more of Mr. Bibb. Don't forget to check out Sisters & Brothers, I think it has the BEST version I've heard so far of Don't Let Nobody Drag You Down. I hope he's as nice as he sounds."
