I've been playing this song since I learned it from VanRonk in 1964. I've heard many versions…this one by Eric Bibb is superb,outstanding! Great guitar work with lots of improv and variations and soulful singing. Amen,brother
This is a tour de force as a performance: technically, expressively, emotionally. Verging on transcendent -Dave van Ronk's version is superb; Snooks Eaglin's was definitive for decades; Bert Jansch's is the best British take on it - but this is just sublime.
This song has appeared over the years in recordings with various lyrics. The song has been credited to pianist Walter David, who recorded Come Back Baby in 1941 with different verses than Eric Bibb sings here, which-along with the guitar arrangement- are almost identical to those put on record in 1961 by the late great finger picker Dave Van Ronk, who credited his guitar arrangement to his one-time sideman Dave Woods. (Van Ronk listed the songwriting credits to Walter David and J. Dupree - L. Martin.) Van Ronk's lyrics were also different from those sung by Ray Charles in his 1954 version (as the B-side to I Got a Woman) over a piano arrangement that was markedly different from Davis' 1941 recording. Glad to hear Van Ronk's version so capably executed by Eric Bibb in this video.
Babas of the unbroken spirit from the Mother Land to the Plantations of North America: John Lee Hooker, Muddy Water, Howlin' Wolf and into the next generation with Eric Bibb! (Baba means Father) No more to say. It speaks for itself. Hm....Hm....Hm.
hmm ok after watching the body language again , I see what you mean.. but i understand it .. I have that too when playing. there's a build upin energy inside you , but it wouldn't do your tone any good if you release it all at once , kinda like the difference between a car tire blowing up , or deflating it slowly. maybe that's a little vague but I hope I explained it just a bit:) have a good one!

No, not an Ovation .. but I was confused by the headstock ..

Tab anyone?
Tense? The guys wearing PJs, he's comfortable.
very nice, but perhaps Jorma did a little more with it
Dave Van Ronk...
Snooks Eaglin's version was a long time before \dvr,.
musically this is similar to Dave Van Ronk's version though.
mechanical ? really? I was rocking back and forth XD could be something wrong with me though :)
