I hardly know where to begin! Gorgeous playing, wonderful songs, great vocals, pristine recording! If "Shingle By Shingle," "Don't Ever Let Nobody Drag Your Spirit Down" and "Happy Home Recipe" don't lift you to some higher plane, I don't know what will. "Rough Waters" actually brought tears to my eyes. By all means, discover Eric Bibb!

I picked this album up on a hunch after reading the case. I had never heard Eric Bibb before. I'm an instant convert. From the first note to the last soulful lyric, Bibb puts out some contagious energy. "Don't Ever Let Nobody Drag Your Spirit Down" ranks right up there with my favorites of all time. If you like this one, also check out Keb Mo (especially his first, self-titled album), or vice versa. I can't wait to see him this weekend (2/21/99) in Sebastopol, CA.

I picked up this CD after being exposed to Eric Bibb on the Sisters & Brothers disc.

This CD is really good and I like it. The one comment worth mentioning is that it gets pretty mellow half way through and slows down quite a bit.

This isn't a CD full of foot stompin accoustic blues although it kinda starts out that way.

It is still really good none-the-less. Since life is all about expectations, I thought it useful to let you know what you're getting: a great accoustic cd with soulfull delivery of bluesy/gospelly material.

Eric Bibb and Needed Time's "Good Stuff" is one of the best CDs I have listened to in a long time. Their gentle treatment of Blues and Gospel creates a wonderful atmosphere (this is further enhanced by the fact that the CD was recorded in a special studio - the music as it was recorded wasn't modified in any way!). Whereas Keb' Mo' (unfortunately) seems to be drifting away from Blues towards Easy Listening, Eric Bibb has stayed closely related to Blues, keeping the Blues alive and well for all of us to enjoy. Acoustic Blues at its best! Good Stuff!!

A very pleasant experience - the full, strong voice of Eric Bibb backed by wonderfully recorded, intelligent acoustic guitar, harp and band. If you like Ry Cooder, Taj Mahal and GREAT hi-fi sound, this is a must.

I saw Eric Bibb play, by chance, in a small pub in Edinburgh. He blew me away with his sincerity. His music is an expression of his entire being, and an audience feels that, experiences that. This artist produces true, true music.

Saw Eric in a small venue concert and had to have this CD. Great music to listen to. Will make you smile, tap your foot and feel good, no matter what kind of music you lean toward. Check it out.

I take my hat off to Mr. Bibb! The CD touched my very soul! Muddy, John Lee, and Son House have got to be looking down with proud at that young man! Get it, you won't regret it!

I first heard Eric Bibb by accident watching BBC one morning and was instantly touched by the music. I have not bought a CD in the last 4 years, but have since bought Good stuff, and a week later ordered Spirit and Blues. I must say that I have played Shingle by shingle over and over again, and had to stop myself listening too often. I feel that he not only has a song, but also a message.

I had the pleasure of hearing Eric Bibb at the San Juan Capistrano Library last summer and picked up the album after the concert. Eric generates such a warm and comfortable feeling with his music. And what music! Great album! And if you get a chance to see him live, do it!
