The bluesman played a terrific concert at the Barbican last night. A soulful singer-guitarist who’s now based on this side of the pond, he’s the son of the American folk singer Leon Bibb, and grew up in a househould where people like Bob Dylan and Odetta would drop by. He's recorded one fine album after another over the past decade. A lovely, unassuming guy too.
On this performance of I Need A Vacation he’s paired with one of his role models, that ageless revivalist, Taj Mahal.
