If you're a famous actor playing someone deaf, dumb or transsexual, expect an Oscar nomination. Some folks fall for showy stuff. A folk-blues album such as Diamond Days doesn't provide the type of showy moments of audio possibility that others might, but it sounds really good, both as a CD or SACD. Bibb's voice and guitar, the backbone of the album, are both clear while maintaining the slight edge that makes them resonant. The short "Dr. Shine" is a great example of what's pleasant about this album. The song is simple and comforting, and I'm not sure I've heard a tuba and mandola in such sweet harmony. -DC Gott View Related Article
