Good, but if you like this, there's much better 
2005-01-21
I give this album 3 stars not because it is neccessarily bad, but because it seems like he is doing something that has been done better before, which makes this music seem a little unnecessary to me. His voice sounds almost exactly like Taj Majal's. I get a feeling like he has lived a great, happy life, and likes Taj Mahal and wants to sing the blues, but he hasn't ever experienced the blues. If you are looking at this and haven't heard Taj Mahal, go buy Taj Mahal's Best of Vol. 1. or his "World Music". That stuff is from the heart and oh so original. Or if you want something contemporary, get a cd by "Kelly Joe Phelps". Keb Mo is just a little poppy and water-ed down for my tastes. but if that's what you want, go for it. It might be a really good introduction to the blues album if you havent heard any and want to get into it. But dont go thinking this guy is the massiah.
The Real Deal

This 1994 disc is real, acoustic, raw blues. If you've been turned off to Keb' Mo' by his more recent poppy silly stuff, then go back to this one and remember why you liked him in the first place. Some nice slide work, some love songs, a couple of EXCELLENT Robert Johnson covers. A solid disk. He may have lost it recently, but a while back Keb' Mo' used to be about something.

Or any other day for that matter...Keb Mo has an incredibly appealing voice and his tunes have an instant familiarity that makes his music accessible and enjoyable. His country-blues acoustic guitar picking is traditional while somehow fresh sounding and the backup musicians are wonderful. This is a great CD from beginning to end.
Toe-tapping blues in all it's naked glory. 2004-11-05
I'd been meaning to pick this CD up for quite a few years but never really got the chance so I was happy to receive it as a recent birthday gift. I gotta tell you, I'm sorry I waited so long. Keb' Mo' has such a wonderful voice and has a fluidity about his playing that makes me feel like I'm sitting next to him on the stage in some old roadside bar round 2 am with just the true die-hards left to enjoy this stark and soulful music.
When the last four cuts of the album come on I find myself singing along with Keb' and I don't care who sees me in my truck. Damn good album.
Keb' Mo' is Addictive 2004-07-24
How quickly one falls for this truly wonderful music. It isn't really "blues" in that so much of it is quite upbeat and speaks directly into one's heart. Keb' Mo' has a genuine, easy-going yet very polished quality that makes me want to listen to him everyday. It is easy to think he is singing to you.

First KebMo CD 2006-07-09

Keb' Mo' 2006-03-08
I just love Keb' Mo'. This CD is classic Mo'. It does not have the unevenness of the Scorsese collection, which included the impromptu "Letter to Tracy," --a mistake to include. All of the tracks on this collection have individual strengths that enhance my overall view of Keb'Mo's virtuosity.
His lyrics are so contemporary, yet, he places them in a comfortable folksy/blues ambience that feels very comfortable.
Keb' Mo' 2005-10-24
Keb' Mo' sings in a deep, mellow voice and plays a beautiful guitar, including a National; he has a special way of immediately capturing your attention and not letting go till he's done. He is at his absolute best when staying within the old blues tradition (12-bar, down-home tunes, just him and his guitar): his version of Robert Johnson's KINDHEARTED WOMAN is a perfect example of this. It goes right to the gut emotionally, but is still lyrical and melodic. Other highlights are EVERY MORNING and LOVE BLUES (he also blows harp on this last mentioned tune).There are a couple of duds on the CD, but the better performances are so good they make up for them. Worth checking out.
