Booker's Guitar

2010 release. Eric Bibb's Booker's Guitar is the first representation we have that accurately mirrors his magnetic and charismatic acoustic live shows. True to tradition and yet uniquely his own, Eric's new recording is a history lesson in finger picking acoustic Blues. Songs mainly penned by Bibb tell stories of endless travel, rocking chairs on the porch, and morality all simple with extremely heavy meanings just under the surface. Inspired by Bibb's encounter with a 1930s vintage Resophonic National steel-body guitar that had once belonged to Delta blues legend Booker White, this is the natural progress of the original American art form of Blues music.
