"The Stockholm-based expatriate American revisits his family's activism in the Civil Rights movement with a series of songs speaking to a fight that continues to this day. Bibb is ably supported by guests including contemporaries Taj Mahal, Russell Malone, Amar Sundy, Harrison Kennedy and Habib Koité as well as rising blues star Jonatavious Willis ... 'Ridin'' is a strong and moving record that will reveal and reward more on repeated plays".

"Ridin' is prescient in equating history's achievements, tragedies, and struggles with those occurring in the 21st century, buoyed by a sublime musical palette of blues, folk, and Americana that matches and amplifies its profound lyric themes and stories".

"Two-time Grammy nominee and multiple Blues Music Award-winner Eric Bibb reminds us what a brilliant storyteller and musician he is on his new album Ridin' ... With beautiful melodies and superb musicianship, Bibb's calm and measured vocals convey certain hard truths about racism and slavery in African American history. There's also hope and uplift. The focus is on humanity. All 14 tracks are delivered with Bibb's gentle vocal approach, allowing listeners to absorb stories buoyed by acoustic instrumentation and top-tier guest musicians ... You can't help but being drawn into the songs by Eric Bibb on Ridin'. Whether harrowing pieces of history or his depiction of hope and unification for everyone, most are deeply moving ... Highly recommended".
