{"product_id":"kebmo-kebmo-hq-vinyl","title":"KEB'MO' - KEB'MO' -HQ- - Vinyl","description":"Personnel: Keb' Mo' (vocals, guitar, harmonica, banjo); Tommy Eyre (keyboards); James \"Hutch\" Hutchinson (bass); Laval Belle, Quentin Dennard, (drums); Tony Draunagel (percussion).\nRecorded at Red Zone Studios, Burbank, California and Devonshire Recording Studios, North Hollywood, California.\nThe 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.\nKeyboards, 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.\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KEB'MO'","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53240590041397,"sku":"1VTVHB-PHDB-TX","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0763\/1391\/9797\/files\/kebmo-kebmo-hq-_Z67SH.jpg?v=1785614936","url":"https:\/\/www.rocknrollarecordshop.com\/products\/kebmo-kebmo-hq-vinyl","provider":"ROCKnROLLA Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
