Keb Mo (1994)

Keb Mo , Mobile Fidelity 1994, SACD

  I first heard Kevin Moore aka Keb'Mo' a number of years ago and was immediately drawn to his playing and his creativity....Keb is way more than just a R&B artist.   Keb Mo is a blues guitarist and vocalist who draws heavily on this debut album on the approach and work of blues legend Robert Johnson who clearly had a major influence on his music.    What makes Keb Mo stand out for me on this album is his integration of callsic blues with soul and folk genres and all wrapped around his own sense and interpretation of his music.
   The folks at Mobile Fidelity have done a great job in remastering and presenting Keb MO's debut album is glorious SACD emitting great clarity and tones.
