"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."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 terrific engineer, Katie May. If I had to describe the sessions in one word, it would be 'flow'," 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."
