The latest single from Eric Bibb is the third taster from his new album “One Mississippi“, and finds the three time-Grammy nominated singer questioning what it is to be free. From the basics of being free to have enough to eat, to have shelter and warmth to the more complex freedoms of being able to dissent from a party line, to have some freedom of speech.
Eric Bibb explains where ‘If You’re Free‘ comes from saying “For those of us who take food, shelter and the comforts of modern life for granted, I hope this song will remind us that our well-being is often connected to the suffering of others. As such, it’s a call for change.”
And of the album itself Bibb adds that “This new collection of stories, from a not-too-distant American past and a tense global present, is a call for peace, justice & unity in a divided world.”
Eric Bibb is touring extensively in the UK next March, and has two dates at 229 in London on January 5th and 6th.
