Sound Menu August 29 2001 Wed week out

ERIC BIBB — Through five albums, this smooth-voiced folk/bluesman has done the similarly styled Keb’ Mo’ one better by adding soul and gospel to his acoustic roots stew. Bibb’s new release includes covers of dark Americana standards such as “Delia’s Gone,” the Rev. Gary Davis’ “I Heard the Angels Singing” and even Hendrix’s “Angel,” which accurately sums up his eclectic, hardly reverential approach. Blind Willie’s (Horowitz)

MELISSA ETHERIDGE — See listing for Tues., Sept. 4. Atlanta Civic Center (Horowitz)

THE TOM COLLINS, FLAIR, GIRL CHRIS — A night of wildly off-center local art-rock lies in store when the Zeppelin-pop of The Tom Collins headlines over the Spirographically swirly Flair. Opening this triple bill is a new ensemble called Girl Chris, whose lead singer is a storied scene veteran, the anything-but-mellow Yello. Smith’s Olde Bar (Nicoll)
