Official lyric video for Emmett's Ghost from Eric Bibb's upcoming new album 'Dear America', available worldwide on Sept 10. Order: lnk.to/ericbibb
On the wistful "Emmett’s Ghost” featuring Ron Carter, Eric Bibb revisits the appalling murder of Emmett Till, whose incendiary lynching in 1955 galvanized the civil rights movement. “At the age of 10, I was leafing through a book my parents had, detailing the history of the civil rights movement, and when I came across the photo of Emmett Till’s battered face, I started to cry,” Bibb recalls. “Emmett’s Ghost was written before the George Floyd case, but it feels like it has particular resonance right now,” he adds
