"Diamond Days” Eric Bibb
Telarc Records CD 83660

I always enjoy listening to Eric Bibb. and this album doesn't buck that trend. Bibb composed 11 of the tracks on this release. the raining songs being by Bob Dylan. Buckets of Rain. and the well tried and tested trad song Worried Man Blues The latter title is a bonus track continuing on from Still Livin' On, so don't eject the CD when this song finishes. From the toe tapping Storybook Hero. he moves into Diamond Days which more or less says "good days, bad days. we all got'em." He live cut In My Father's House which features some excellent guitar playing, and the aforementioned Still Livin' On which is a tribute to Bibb's blues heroes. The CD also includes an 11 minute video. which is worth watching. All in all a worthy addition to the collection.
