Keb Mo


So, when I was reviewing audio equipment this was always the first song I’d play once the equipment was burned in. It’s dynamic, it’s got depth, clarity, diversity, and it absolutely pointed me in the other directions I needed to go with other listening material. Plus, it’s just damn fun to listen to. Keb Mo is awesome. This version sounds like crap BTW. Gotta go to Qobuz, etc. to get a good-sounding version.

Awesome track.
Suitcase album is great too and the title track is my go to for Keb

I was wrong, and Henry are my favourites on this very fine recording :) 

Listening to Senor Blues now, thanks for the suggestion :)

That whole album is great. I used “A Better Man” on my demo disc. Another great one also produced by John Porter is Taj Mahal’s “Señor Blues”.

I interviewed him back in the 1990's.  Told him that I think he needs to record an album with Cassandra Wilson.  I think the paring would be magical.

I saw him a few years ago at a small venue in Dallas. Just him and a few other musicians on stage. It was the most delightful concert I’ve ever experienced. It was very relaxed, not loud and almost felt like an impromptu performance. Many years ago I had a similar experience at a Taj Mahal performance where I had the pleasure of meeting him.

I’m pretty sure I have all his albums and I love 99% of his music! I kinda wish he hadn’t started so late in life so he would have more time to make even more great tunes!
