Excellent debut disc and his finest one. It's the most blues based of all his CD's and probably the only one of his you need to own.

Keb' Mo' Just Like You CD (1996)

Keb' Mo' album

$6.75

JUST LIKE YOU is an enhanced CD containing both a full audio program and multimedia computer files. JUST LIKE YOU won the 1997 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album. This is a multi-channel Super Audio CD playable only Super Audio CD players. On his second album, Keb' Mo' begins to expand the borders of his Delta blues by recording with a full band on a couple of tracks and attempting more expansive, rock-based song structures. The attempts aren't entirely successful and it's ironic that he decided to try rock-oriented material after he received such praise for his traditionalist debut. Still, there are a few songs on the album that rank with the best on his first album, which suggests that Just Like You is merely a sophomore slump. ~ Thom Owens Personnel: Keb' Mo' (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne (vocals); Tommy Eyre (11-string guitar, keyboards); John Porter (dobro); Jim Gordon (clarinet); ...

Keb' Mo' Door CD (2000)

Keb' Mo' CD music

$6.75

This is a Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players. THE DOOR was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album. For his fourth album, California native Keb' Mo' continues down his same creative path, weaving traditional country blues with more contemporary pop sounds. Content to leave guitar histrionics to young bucks like Jonny Lang and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, the former Kevin Moore instead uses his skill with a National Steel guitar to give his material a texture like smooth sippin' whiskey. Keb' Mo's most endearing quality is a laid-back persona that fits comfortably like a worn pair of jeans. This molasses-slow delivery works particularly well on the uplifting title track of spiritual renewal, and the laconic "It's All Coming Back," which features jazzy guitar chords and George Benson-like scatting. He demonstrates a sure hand in covering a wide range of human emotion and social situations, including the sad scenarios of class barriers ("Anyway") and poignant heartbreak ("Come On Back"). Elsewhere, he shows off his sassy side with the slyly ribald "Gimme What You Got," complete with funky licks buoyed by bouncy brass and string arrangements, in addition to a weird, Eurodisco-like cover of Elmore James' ...

Keb' Mo' Slow Down CD (1998) Enhanced CD

Keb' Mo' music CDs

$7.59

SLOW DOWN is a Enhanced CD containing both a full audio program as well as multimedia computer files. All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology. SLOW DOWN won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album. Let's dispel a common misconception right off the bat; Keb Mo is not a blues singer. To call him one would be as limiting as calling Lyle Lovett a country singer. He's got his finger in too many musical pies to be tied down to one tradition. As SLOW DOWN makes plain, his songs are certainly bluesy, but like Taj Mahal, he takes the style an mingles it with so many others that a new paradigm is created. Keb Mo's snappy, soulful acoustic guitar is the central element of most of the tunes here, but there's everything from funk to R&B to '70s-sounding rock-pop at work in these songs. As a composer, Keb Mo knows how to get down to the basics of human emotions and trials without lapsing into cliche, and his no-nonsense vocal delivery communicates his message effectively. Blues traditionalists may not get what they've been led to expect from SLOW DOWN, but if they've got butts and feet, they won't be able to keep 'em still.

Keb' Mo' Big Wide Grin CD (2001)

Keb' Mo' songs

$7.59

BIG WIDE GRIN was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Musical Album For Children. With baby boomers and many members of Generation X having grown up with rock & roll as their music of choice, it stands to reason the idea of a "children's album" needs to be redefined. Contemporary blues guitarist Keb' Mo' keeps this concept at the forefront of BIG WIDE GRIN, a collection of songs suitable for sharing with the whole family as opposed to being tailored solely for the little ones. Blessed with a rich singing voice, fleet fingers, and a laid-back delivery, Mo' delivers clever arrangements of R&B favorites by The O'Jays (a twangy "Love Train"), Sly & The Family Stone (a casually swinging "Family Affair"), and Bill Withers (a loping "Grandma's Hands"). In keeping with the familial theme, the Compton native addresses topics including adoption (the heartfelt Brenda Russell duet "I Am Your Mother Too"), love for a step-parent ("Color Him Father"), and thankfulness for a blessed life (a Bonnie Raitt-like "Infinite Eyes"). Goosing along this occasionally weighty collection are a few instances of Keb' Mo' loosening up, particularly on a jumping version of Slim Gaillard's jive classic "The Flat Foot Floogie" and a playful duet with son Kevin Jr. on Joni Mitchell's ...

Keb' Mo' Keep It Simple CD (2004)

Keb' Mo' album

$6.25

For his fifth studio album, KEEP IT SIMPLE, Keb' Mo' adhered to the title's advice and cut out any middleman by taking the production reins himself. As a result, the California native came away with a dozen songs that are perhaps the most personal of his career. Playing a combination of finger-picked and slide guitar, Mo' lends a tasty, fat tone to these tales of intimate relationships (the Bonnie Raitt-flavored "One Friend," featuring Shannon Curfman), simpler times (the harmonica-soaked, slow blues title cut) and pure unconditional love (the sprightly "Shave Yo' Legs"). Even Keb' Mo's use of special guests comes off as organic and woven into the mix. "Riley B. King" features Robben Ford and Robert Cray dropping in unobtrusive guitar solos, and the perky "House in California" seamlessly works in mandolin accompaniment by Sam Bush and harmonies by married couple Vince Gill and Amy Grant. KEEP IT SIMPLE is the sound of a skilled singer-songwriter who has hit a peak by sticking to the essence of blues music. Recorded at The Village Recorders and Stu Stu, West Los Angeles, California; House Of Blues Studio, Encino, California; Blackbird Studios, Nashville, Tennessee.

On 2006's SUITCASE, Keb' Mo's third studio outing in less than three years, the Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter/guitarist (aka Kevin Moore) presents another set of soulful, accessible blues. The album begins with the light, lilting "Your Love," and continues in a relaxed and generally romantic mood with songs such as the gentle "Still There for Me," the lovelorn "Rita," and the whimsical "I See Love," creating a breezy mood that stands in notable contrast to his '04 protest record, PEACE...BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND. Given Mo's deep, easy-going vocals and straightforward, nimble guitar playing, ...

Harry Connick, Jr Harry For The Holidays CD (2003)

Keb' Mo' music CDs

$8.49

This is a Hyper CD, which contains regular audio tracks and also provides a link to the artist's website with the help of a web browser. Instead of a straightforward take on an assortment of seasonal classics, Harry Connick, Jr. decided to make HARRY FOR THE HOLIDAYS, his second Christmas album in a decade, more of a swinging affair, thanks to his use of unorthodox arrangements. Sure, there's enough lush orchestrations on songs like "I'll Be Home for Christmas" and more secular fare like "Nature Boy" to make Nelson Riddle blush, but Connick does spice things up. "Frosty the Snowman" turns into a brassy rhumba and the "Christmas Waltz" benefits from the kind of West Coast, cool time changes that you'd expect to hear on a Dave Brubeck outing. This New Orleans native also gives a nod to fellow southerner Elvis Presley by way of a crooned reading of "Blue Christmas" and country legend George Jones even gets recruited for the countrypolitan Connick-penned "Nothin' New for New Year." Other originals like the New Orleans funkified "Happy Elf" and the orchestral gem "I Come with Love" fare well alongside a snappy version of "Silver Bells" and an cover of Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas" featuring Meters' guitarist Leo Nocentelli and a gospel choir. Connick's fresh approach to seasonal music will make you glad to join HARRY FOR THE HOLIDAYS. Additional Tracks Recorded at Capitol Studios, Los Angeles, California between May 13 & 22, 2003. Personnel: Harry Connick, Jr. (vocals, piano, bass, drums); George Jones (vocals); Charles "Ned" Goold, James Greene (alto saxophone); Jerry Weldon, Mike Karn (tenor saxophone); Dave Schumacher (baritone saxophone); Roger Ingram, Derrick Gardner, Leroy Jones, Joe Magnarelli (trumpet); Mark Mullins, Craig Klein, Lucien Barbarin, John Allred (trombone); Joe Barati (bass trombone); Biff Watson, Leo Nocentelli, George Doering (guitar); Paul Franklin (pedal steel).

Big Joe Turner Shout, Rattle And Roll CDs (2005) (Import) Box Set; United Kingdom

Keb' Mo' album

$34.29
In his informative and wildly irreverent book Unsung Heroes of Rock 'n' Roll, Nick Tosches devotes a chapter to the life and career of blues shouter Big Joe Turner, whom he repeatedly refers to as "a big fat f ** k." Part of the charm of Tosches' book is he manages to make this sound like a compliment, and after listening to the exhaustive box set Shout, Rattle and Roll -- which collects a hundred Big Joe Turner sides recorded between 1938 and 1954 -- the appellation seems all the more appropriate. Big Joe was a man of profound appetites, and while his fabled girth testified to his love of a good meal, listening to his music offers ample evidence of his passion for women, whiskey, and wild living, which were the constant obsessions documented in his songs. Turner's style hardly changes a bit throughout these one hundred tunes and the sixteen years that separate the first from the last, and that's no insult -- Turner was less a mere blues singer than an honest-to-God force of nature, and no matter if he was being backed by a single pianist or a big jazz ensemble, Turner wailed like there was no tomorrow, ready to knock back some liquor and tell you all about the latest lady to turn his head (and it seems there were a bunch of them). Shout, Rattle and Roll collects a sizable majority of the material Turner waxed during the first 15 years of his recording career, and while the quality of the audio is expectedly uneven, the performances are not -- with Turner raising the rafters with some of the great men of blues and jazz (including Dave Bartholomew, Meade "Lux" Lewis, Elmore James, Albert Ammons, Art Tatum, Benny Carter, and many more), every track is a grand, howling paean to the pleasures of the flesh, and taken together it's a table-busting banquet of blues in true Big Joe proportions. (The set also includes an illustrated 48-page booklet with a fine biographical essay.) If this isn't the definitive Big Joe Turner set, that's only because Turner kept on singing and recording up until he dropped dead in 1987, leaving a lot more ground to cover, but this does offer a superb overview of the man's best and most influential stuff, and this box represents the true and glorious legacy of the "biggest, fattest f ** ...

Benedictum Uncreation CD (2006)

$13.15

As a general rule, synthesizers and metal don't mix. (Exhibit A: Europe's "The Final Countdown," ripe for mockery long before it became a running joke on the TV sitcom Arrested Development.) And for many of the genre's more unthinkingly misogynist fans, chicks and metal don't mix, either. On their debut album, however, Benedictum integrate a powerful female singer and a synth player with an otherwise standard-issue big-riffing-guitars metal band to good effect. Singer Veronica Freeman has a powerful, hectoring voice, similar at times ...
