A Disappointment

 Album Rating: (2 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Well, I don't know what else the other reviewers listen to, maybe I should check out their profiles to see where they are coming from. But I am certainly not on board with them when it comes to Get On Board.
I first became aware of Eric Bibb several years back through a John Mayall cover of one of his songs. Wanting to hear the original, I bought the Bibb album on which it was featured. That CD was good enough to make me want to hear more and I have acquired several others but Get On Board sadly is the least of them.
Get On Board starts promisingly enough with a stirringly spiritual Spirit I Am. That is followed by the fine bluesy Promised Land but then it is all downhill from there. Mellow and folksy it is, but the songwriting is often jivey, corny, hackneyed, and on Conversation, wince-inducing. My least favorites are If Our Hearts Ain't In It, Pockets, the aforementioned Conversation, God's Kingdom, and Stayed On Freedom.
After the positive press reviews and all the hosannahs sung highly here of Get On Board, I was hoping for much better. I guess Eric can only go where his muse leads him, but I'm jumping off his train right here.

Postscript: I just did as I suggested I should have done in the first sentence and find that I am not even on the same musical planet with any of them. If you are primarily a music person, check what they have reviewed against what I've reviewed before you make your decision on whether or not to buy.

He just gets better & better.

Review Comments: If you know or don't have a problem imagining that the blues can lift your spirits and enrich your soul, you'll love this album - and any other by Eric Bibb. He adds a lot to this world.

Erick Bibb has got my attention

Review Comments: I just recently have been turned on to Eric. It is a quality of Blues done by the old guys. It's pure. In his blues he speaks to us all about our priorities and how it could be so much better if we would let God in our life. He doesn't beat you over the head with it. But it is spiritual and freedom motivated.
