I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, In The Real World, from Eric Bibb. Opening with Take The Stage, a quiet, well penned, ballad with Bibb on guitar and vocal, Glen Scott on drums bass, Hammond and featuring haunting slide by Robbie McIntosh. Very nice. Everybody's Got A Right is a lively track with lighter than a feather lyrics and lush slide work by McIntosh and super backing vocals by Agnese Stengrevics, Chris McGreevy and Glen Scott. This River (Chains & Free) is a ethereal track with confident lead vocals by Bibb and excellent featured vocals by Shaneeka Simon and lush backing vocals by Sepideh Vazin' and Simon. Exception track. Another standout track is Dear Mavis with a steady, percussive, guitar pattern by Bibb under his deep seated vocals. With Glenn Scott on synths, this track is quiet but effective. Out of the ordinary, The Real World is a real nice track with a supple melody and soothing vocals by Bibb and Scott, accompanied by McIntosh on guitar, David Davidson on violin, David Angell on violin, Monisa Angell on viola and Carole Rabinowitz on cello. Wrapping the release is Victory Voices featuring a duet between Bibb and Lily James with McIntosh on guitar, Scott on drums, piano and bass, Vaziri on backing vocals and Rabinowitz on cello. Warm closer.
