When Eric Bibb recorded his first album in Sweden, no one could have guessed what a magnificent artist Jan-Eric Persson had discovered. The double album “Spirit & The Blues,” released in 1994, marked Eric Bibb's definitive international breakthrough. The album was showered with critical acclaim and awards, including the prestigious US “Record To Die For” Award. The vocal quartet The Deacons and “Needed Time,” the Swedish backing band led by guitar virtuoso Göran Wennerbrandt, play together congenially and develop a sure sense of the right balance between virtuosity and restraint, allowing the character, message, and arrangements of the songs to come across as natural. A magnificent album! “It is a direct hit in both audiophile and musical terms, and thus a real treasure.” (AUDIOPHILE 1/2000)
The outstanding Multichannel Hybrid SACD from Opus 3 Records includes a booklet with detailed information on the recording technology and microphones used.
