'Get Onboard' is another fine blues album from acclaimed blues / roots guitarist / songwriter Eric Bibb that spreads a message of unity and connected-ness, and features Bonnie Raitt on three tracks.
"'Get Onboard' is, without a doubt one of the most exciting projects of my career. It's a further exploration into the place where blues meets gospel and soul. With every new recording project I feel I'm getting closer to the core of my mission as a troubadour. For me, it's always been more than a matter of providing musical entertainment.
Above all, I enjoy spreading a message of unity and connected-ness. In these times of global strife, when our very survival seems to be in question, music reminds me that only love is real.
I'm really looking forward to seeing you out there soon. Right now, I've got a train to catch! Peace."
