Eric Bibb is a folk singer and song-writer who draws on the American traditions of spirituals, blues and gospel music.
Born in New York City to a musical family, he is the godson of Paul Robeson, and has performed with the likes of Pete Seeger and Odetta. Eric grew up with the King James Bible and recognised at an early age that the tradition of the spirituals, born from the hardship of slavery, adapted these same Biblical texts to songs of solace and liberation.
Eric performs the traditional spiritual 'I Want Jesus To Walk With Me' in the studios at ABC Radio National in Sydney.
To celebrate the 1611 publication of the KJB, go to the ABC's King James Bible 400th Anniversary website at abc.net.au/religion.
