Singer-songwriter and guitarist Keb' Mo's music is a living link to the seminal Delta blues that traveled up the Mississippi River and across the expanse of America--informing all of its musical roots-before evolving into a universally celebrated art form. Born Kevin Moore in South Los Angeles to parents originally from the deep South, he adopted his better known stage name when he was a young player who became inspired by the force of this essential African-American legacy. In the storied tradition of bluesmen before him including Muddy Waters-formerly McKinley Morganfield-and Taj Mahal, who began his days as Henry St. Clair Fredericks, Moore became known as Keb' Mo'. His acclaimed self-titled 1994 debut album introduced that now famous appellation to the world, and his latest album, 2006's Suitcase, brings it to new heights.
"City Boy" is one of my favorite Keb' Mo' songs. It's so beautiful, and I can most definitely relate to the song very well. This is the work of a true artist :)
Hello Keb Mo, many thanks for accepting my friend request.
Many thanks for keeping the Blues alive.
Many special thanks for your wonderful interpretations of Robert Johnson´s music. ( Last fair deal is my very favorite)
Many extra thanks for your original work which is in my opinion without comparison, especially the acoustic-only work.
I hope you´ll be touring Germany sometime soon because we don´t have plans returning to the US any time soon!
Seen you in Lörrach (Germany) unbelievable!!!
I love the mixture in your music - your not really fixed to any style. You are an inspiration for every musician. Thanks a lot for that and for the add. Greetings and blessings from the Black Forrest - South Germany!
Love the music, man...yours was the first entire catalog I put on my iPod...just an amazing collection of music. Saw you open for Bonnie Raitt in Boston some years back...just beautiful...
