Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Door has been given a bigger push, its rerelease prompted by Mo's high profile gigs with BB King. The LA-based Kevin Moore was re-christened at the start of the 1990s to mark his born-again bluesman conversion, but Mr Mo' isn't so steeped in rustic bluesology this time. The general feel's still there at every turn, even if, on a number like "Come On Back", it's running in the background of some frothy West Coast soul. Mo' keeps up both aspects of his sound, ranging from the completely solo porch-style delivery of "Mommy, Can I Come Home" and "Loola Loo" (only a treading foot for time-keeping) to the full band (plus horns, strings and gospel chorus) work-outs of "It's All Coming Back" and "Gimme What You Got". On the swinging title track (certainly a most optimistic opener), Mo' manages to capture electric and acoustic vibes simultaneously, then cannily frills "It Hurts Me Too" with subtle electronic textures, giving the old Elmore James chestnut a bold and booting treatment. --Martin Longley
Product Description
(2000 'Sony Music')(49:07/12) Auch mit diesem Album bleibt Kevin Moore sich selbst treu: "Der Blues", sagt er "ist meine Geschichte, meine Kultur. Er war immer da. Doch in erster Linie wollte ich nie ein Bluestyp werden, sondern Songschreiber. Doch der Blues gab mir Tiefe." So ist es! / with "The Door" Keb' Mo stays true to himself. "The blues," he says, "is my history, my culture. It's always been around me. I always wanted primarly not just to be a blues buy, but a songwriter. But the blues gave me depth." That's it. w/ GREG PHILLINGANES - kbds, REGGIE McBRIDE - bass, STEVE JORDAN oder/or JUM KELTNER - drums, SCARLET RIVERA - violin, etc.

I have avoided most contemporary blues artists, preferring instead to concentrate my efforts in the good ole days of rhythm & blues. I have to say that the compulsive purchase of this album has led me to open myself up to the music that contemporary blues artists have to offer. This album is so chilled it's worthy of the Iceman himself. His axework is subtle and vocals are gravelly smooth. Keb's subtle blend of styles without straying to far from blues roots is both refreshing and compelling. I have since purchased the rest of his albums and can only suggest any other stuck in past blues hogs do the same!

Keb Mo has really made the grade as an artist. This album has some very distinctive songs - some subtle, some just plain old blues. But as a musician he is tops. The recording will blow you away, and the version of "It hurts me too" is probably worth the cost of the CD. Enjoy.

More of the same from Keb, but boy is it good stuff. It has his usual Robert Johnson influenced playing and great vocals. This album has some great blues and is very laid back. All the tracks are pretty good and this album rates as one of Kebs better efforts. A great place to start if your new to Keb Mo, or even if you're new to blues.
