Title: KEB MO MEETS CAROLE KING's REALLY ROSIE!
Review: Keb, Keb, Keb...Wipe that "Big Wide Grin" off your face and play some blues! Keb Mo is one of my favorite artists of the last 10 or so years, but this album is a big ol' disappointment. I wish Keb would put out an album of just himself and an acoustic guitar. Keep it simple and do what you do best (just a side note, added 2/24/04, perhaps Keb took my advise! His new release is entitled "Keep It Simple". It's much better, but still a little too soft for my liking). If I wanted to hear a bunch of happy hoo-ha I'd buy myself a Bobby McFerren disc.I guess Keb Mo is entitled to be happy as a clam at high tide. He's already put a nice body of work behind him and is well respected in the biz. Entitled or not though, this CD comes across as rather fluffy. Because I like him so much, I'll give Keb Mo a mulligan on this one and eagerly await his next release.If your looking for Keb Mo at his best, pick "Slow Down" instead.
