In The Real World is the latest album from blues troubadour Eric Bibb,
following his Grammy-nominated 2023 release,Ridin'.Recorded at Peter
Gabriel's iconic Real World Studios, this album is a vivid representation of
Bibb's musical and personal evolution, offering a glimpse into the world
he's experienced and the hope he continues to foster through his
music."There's a wholeness aboutIn The Real World that deeply moves
me," Bibb refects
"It feels like Glen Scott and I have reached a milestone on our collaborative
journey. Musically, the album feels like a self-portrait because it truly represents
my infuences."
With a career spanning fve decades, three Grammy nominations, and numerous
Blues Foundation awards, Eric Bibb has solidifed his legacy as a legendary fgure
in the blues and roots genre. In The Real World stands as a testament to his
evolution as an artist, deeply rooted in the storytelling tradition of the blues; "It
really tells me where I've been, where I am, and where I'm headed," Bibb explains.
"Thematically, it's about the you- me- we connection. It's about the world we've
created for ourselves and the world we long for."
Recording at Real World Studios provided the perfect backdrop for this deeply
introspective album. "The sheer natural beauty of the grounds and the caring
hospitality of the staff were inspiring, to say the least. We worked with a terrifc
engineer, Katie May. If I had to describe the sessions in one word, it would be
'fow'," Bibb shares. "What's particularly enjoyable for me, listening to this album,
is the prominence of my guitar. Glen Scott's arrangements and production are a
joy to hear. All the musicians involved made great contributions. Robbie
McIntosh's outstanding playing, in particular, is a treat. Every track is a favorite,
and the duet with Lily James is a gift to my soul."
