Love Letter to America

Eric Bibb is back. The US blues musician and singer-songwriter is releasing his new album "Dear America" in 2021, the follow-up to his 2018 double album "Global Griot." The name suggests it: It's a musical love letter to his fractured homeland.

Cardboard sleeve (mini LP) reissue from America featuring American original LP jacket artwork, Japanese-edition LP obi, and digital remastering from 2007, featuring the albums "America", "Homecoming", "Hat Trick", "Holiday", "Hearts", "Hideaway", "Harbor", and "Live."

Lavishly Packaged Love Letter To The Final Years Of Stax!
Stax Records was black and white coming together in a pioneering integrated music enterprise. Native Tennessean Jim Stewart founded Satellite in the late 1950s but soon joined up with sister Estelle Axton and rechristened the label Stax Records (the “St” and “ax” of Stax respectively). This ever-evolving Memphis-based label became one of the landmark touchstones of soul, R&B, and funk throughout the 1960s and 70s, its finger snapping logo brand synonymous with sonic quality and heartfelt integrity. Releasing hundreds of long players and 45-rpm singles during its heyday, the imprint and its many subsidiaries also birthed the legendary careers of Booker T & The M.G.’s, Otis Redding, and Isaac Hayes.
