Dear America

"Despite a catalogue of fine, groundbreaking albums, Dear America stands apart. It's a tender, wise, album-length manifesto of love for a place, history, and people that haven't always loved him back. Throughout it, he invites listeners to abandon small thinking and hate and to engage empathy in order to set real change in motion. Ultimately, Dear America is Bibb's masterpiece".

"A very fine set of blues-influenced songs, with Bibb's social and political message centre stage, rating amongst his finest work in a long and distinguished career".

"When labeled a "bluesman," Eric Bibb is a square peg in a round hole. A New York native who's lived in Sweden for decades, Bibb knows country blues inside out, but he's also well versed in folk and Black religious music ... Expressing truth and social justice comes naturally to Bibb; his genteel voice throughout Dear America reveals a moral scrutiny that is instructive".
