Blues Blast Magazine interviewed Eric Bibb recently, and honestly it was the 1st I'd heard of him

As an old guy, I am familiar with his dad, Leon Bibb, from the folkie days, but I had not heard of Eric until now. Maybe it's because he lives in Sweden, I don't know. But his wiki is really amazing and points to lots of good stuff to check out.

Now I've gotta find that Blues Blast interview. Is that available online?

Is the Blues Blast interview from 2019?

hadn't seen this channel before, but I dipped into it in a few places and everything I heard was interesting. Including that he initially moved to Europe to avoid the draft after he dropped out of Columbia.
