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 about In The Real World that deeply moves me," Bibb reflects. "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 influences."
With a career spanning five decades, three Grammy nominations, and numerous Blues Foundation awards, Eric Bibb has solidified his legacy as a legendary figure 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."
