One of the pre-eminent modern interpreters of the traditional country blues tradition, Eric Bibb here presents a suite of songs inspired by, and in part performed on, a steel National Resophonic guitar that belonged to Delta blues great Booker/Bukka White in the 1930s.

With no accompaniment bar a dash of harmonica, the set comprises original songs that sit comfortably alongside the great Nobody’s Fault But Mine and Wayfaring Stranger, without becoming pastiche. As always, Bibb’s in fine voice in this soothing and stirring album.
