Características
Released in 1996, the album “Good Stuff” is the second extremely successful album in Eric Bibb's career after “Spirit And The Blues” (which won the Record To Die For Award in the USA, among others). “Good Stuff” captivates above all with the incredibly sensitive accompaniment of “Needed Time” under its exquisite leader, Göran Wennerbrandt. Clive Davis, chief critic of the Sunday Times, named “Good Stuff” the best blues album of 1997! The enthusiastic reviews in the German trade press should also be emphatically mentioned here once again! More blues-oriented than on the previous album, Eric Bibb presents mainly his own material – music in the tradition of Taj Mahal or Ry Cooder!
“A fantastic sounding, soulful album.” (AUDIOphile 4/2000)“This record is an extraordinary experience in every respect.” (Matthias Böde in Stereo 10/2000)
The double HQ-LP (180-gram vinyl, 45 RPM), which boasts outstanding sound quality, was pressed by Optimal Media. Andreas “Lupo” Lubich (Calyx Mastering, Berlin) is responsible for the lacquer disc cutting.
