Keb´Mo ´

Biography by Steve Huey
Guitarist/vocalist Keb' Mo' draws heavily on the old-fashioned country blues style of Robert Johnson while keeping his sound contemporary with touches of soul and folksy storytelling. A skilled frontman as well as an accomplished sideman, he writes much of his own material and has applied his acoustic, electric, and slide guitar skills to jazz- and rock-oriented bands. Born Kevin Moore in Los Angeles to parents of Southern descent, he was exposed to gospel music at a young age. At 21, Moore joined an R&B band that was later hired for a tour by Papa John Creach; as a result, Moore played on three of Creach's albums. Opening for jazz and rock artists such as the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jefferson Starship, and Loggins & Messina helped further broaden Moore's horizons and musical abilities.

On Suitcase, his eighth studio release, Keb' Mo' (Kevin Moore) reunites with John Porter, the producer of Moore's critically lauded first album, and the result is a pleasant, midtempo suite of songs dedicated to the emotional baggage everyone carries with them as they plow through increasingly complicated lives in search of peace, love, and some measure of personal redemption. Moore covers this ground with a wink and a grin in his voice, though, and Suitcase emerges as a wry commentary on modern life that still manages to sound bright and positive, beginning with the effervescent, sprung reggae rhythm of the opening track, "Your Love," one of the best cuts here. Other highlights include the lovely ballad, "Still There for Me," a celebration of the little man and his private victories, "I'm a Hero," and the soothing, hopeful shuffle that closes things out, "Life Is Beautiful." Moore is generally classified as a blues player, but the truth is, aside from his first album, he has actually done very little true blues material, and it is probably more accurate to call what he does blues-informed, but even that ignores the point that he is probably much closer in tone, theme, and feel to James Taylor than he is to Robert Johnson or any other blues figure. He does turn to the blues here, though, on the title track, "Suitcase," and morphs it into a wonderfully engaging song about what people bring into a romantic relationship and what they take away in the end, making full use of the "emotional baggage" connection inherent in the title. It is Keb' Mo' at his best, drawing on his ability to synthesize roots forms like the blues into completely contemporary commentaries on the struggles, travails, and blind faith in personal redemption that accompanies people as they slog their way daily ever deeper into the 21st century.

Musím poděkovat za tip, zakoupil jsem stejnojmenou desku Keb´Mo´vydanou u Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab a jsem z hudby nadšen. Znám pouze tuto jeho desku a je to fakt velmi dobré i co se kvality zvuku týče.

Viktore,
tato deska me prijde trosku jina nez ostatni. Je takova vice do country blues, kde prevazuje jeho kytara a je mozna syrovejsi. Tyto skladby me kdysi privedly k tomuto interpretovy v prvni polovine devadesatych let. Videl jsem jeho koncert na satelitnim programu a od te doby ho posloucham.

Zkus krome Suitcase dole take treba toto...

nebo


Kdyz se ti libi Keb Mo, zkus taky treba Eric Bibb. Ma vyborne kvalitni nahravky od Opus, napr....

Tak tu máme nové album, bohužel zatím jen na streamu nebo CD, 2LP je ohlášeno až na květen...

KEB'MO - GOOD TO BE

Mám moc rád, díky za upozornění, CD bude doma . Jeho eponymní album mi před lety naprosto učarovalo, je v něm neskutečná energie a život .

DR8!
Asi hudba do auta…

Tak naštěstí DR neposlouchám..

Na takovy popik normalka

Tak pravda, že první desku už nepřekonal (vlastně druhou, první nahrál ještě pod svým civilním jmenem). A v poslední době vše splývá. Výjimkou je snad Suitcase.
