{"product_id":"keb-mo","title":"Keb' Mo'","description":"Personnel: Keb' Mo' (vocals, guitar, harmonica, banjo); Tommy Eyre (keyboards); James \"Hutch\" Hutchinson (bass); Laval Belle, Quentin Dennard, (drums); Tony Draunagel (percussion).\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at Red Zone Studios, Burbank, California and Devonshire Recording Studios, North Hollywood, California.\u003cbr\u003eThe first solo release by contemporary blues-based artist Keb Mo' mixes a reverence for traditional country blues with more streamlined elements of commercial pop. Despite a convincing \"down-home\" approach of gravel-textured vocals and superior slide work and finger-picking skills, Keb Mo' avoids the pose of a hard line revivalist. Instead, he chooses to employ his fluency in the Delta tradition as a palette on which to blend a connoisseur's sampling of various musical genres. Country, funk, swing, and late 20th-Century folk balladry (Traci Chapman, James Taylor and Bob Dylan) all manage to make their way into the mix for a seamless blend of roots and radio friendliness.\u003cbr\u003eKeyboards, bass and drums (in addition to Keb Mo's contributions on guitar, harmonica and banjo) flesh out breezy soul-inflected pop such as \"She Just Wants To Dance\" and the island flavored \"Tell Everybody I Know.\" Though gears continue to shift, from organ-drenched gospel to hillbilly lite, Keb Mo' brings things back to the source with inventive homages to the blues altar, such as in his re-casting of two Robert Johnson songs. Though blues purists may find Mo's genre blending somewhat disconcerting, others will find much to appreciate in this accessible, enjoyable, finely honed music.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45724517925151,"sku":"8718469535934","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/0373361f5b2402a286ea94093fb865ac.jpg?v=1778853763","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/keb-mo","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
