"Personal and political storytelling, social criticism and perseverance through struggles are some of the themes that make folk music forms so captivating and enduring. Eric Bibb's Migration Blues offers plenty of that, and his whisky-smooth voice and virtuosic guitar convey it all perfectly".

"Migration Blues may be his masterpiece ... this ensemble is musically refined and elegant. Bibb on his own is remarkable; put maestro [Michael Jerome] Browne next to him, and they morph into the living embodiment of "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts." [J.J.] Milteau adds light dabs of color accentuation here and there, just when needed ... Bibb has reached the lyrical and songwriting pinnacle: relevant, timely and socio-critical, inspiring original blues songs, done intelligently and intellectually, yet sensitively and accessible ... This is perhaps the most relevant, far-reaching, consciousness-raising, emancipatory music made today, in any genre".
