Video Premiere: Eric Bibb “This One Don’t”
Rock & Blues Muse is pleased to exclusively premiere Eric Bibb’s new video ‘This One Don’t”, from the three-time Grammy Award nominee’s forthcoming album ‘One Mississippi’ out January 30, 2026 via Repute Records.
With a delightful groove, “This One Don’t” by blues legend Eric Bibb shows us how easily music and dance dilute conflict and strife. The video depicts real people dancing and having a good time. Bibb sings “Some songs have complicated melodies. This one don’t.” It doesn’t have to be complex—this song gets you moving. It has a hypnotic vibe, something that dissolves worry, and steers you directly into feeling the joy of the music. It might be a simple melody as Bibb’s lyrics say, but the music certainly isn’t through the melodic harp and electric slide guitar vamps.
Where the album ‘One Mississippi’ is a call for peace, justice and unity in a divided world, the video and single “This One Don’t” shows us how peace and unity can so easily be had just by following Bibb’s lead. His gentle, calm vocal beckons everyone to move with the music and together. Music is a powerful healer.
Eric Bibb says, “This One Don’t’ is the first single we’ll drop from my upcoming album, One Mississippi. The song was inspired by a wonderful gig at a Blues Fever Festival in Vienna, where I played in front of a groovy crowd who love dancing to the Blues. Happily, we were able to include these folks in the video. Thanks to my ace producer, Glen Scott, and the superb musicians involved, this track is one of the funkiest I’ve ever recorded. As Alice Walker once said, ’Hard times require furious dancing.’”
