Now it is here: High-Fidelity Audio Magnetic Tape
Tiny Island is the original name of the band that played with Eric Bibb on both his debut album on Opus 3 Records: "Spirit & The Blues" and also "Good Stuff". On this, Tiny Islands debut album they play instrumental music with ingredients from near and far - warm island breezes, a trace of oriental spice and Nordic mood. All the music has been composed by members of the band with the exception of one piece by Taj Mahal.
One possible way of having a conception of Tiny Island´s music is to consider the members of the band and their instrumentation.
