4.0 out of 5 stars Another Solid Performance, October 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Door (Audio CD)

Keb' Mo' continues to expand his definition of "the blues" with this latest collection of songs. Blues purists may be initially disappointed...even his rendition of Elmore James' classic "It Hurts Me Too," has what to me is an odd arrangement. That said, "The Door" is a fine collection of songs ...honest, direct,good lyrics and elegantly done....and certainly flavored with a blues influence throughout...Mo's singing and musicality remain at their usual level of excellence....each listen gets better and better.... Although I bought the cd over a week ago, I waited to write this as I had the chance to see "Keb" perform last night....He did most of the songs on "The Door" as well as the majority of "Slow Down." I was slightly disappointed that he did not do "Love in Vain," however the show was incredible nonetheless...what one likes about his recordings comes through ten fold live...I had to drive three hours to see him...and drove home after midnite with no regrets...He is a national treasure.

Oh what a great set of songs - there is something so comfortable about Keb Mo's work. The music is infectious and the man's voice is unique.(plus he sure can play). He has a wide range of tricks in his blues bag and he uses them all. The track "mommy can I come home" will just tear at your heart

This CD is going to spend a lot of time in my car - great music to drive to at night Another winner Keb!

5.0 out of 5 stars My First Time, October 22, 2002

I can honestly say that this has been the only CD I have listened to for the past week. I was not a big "Blues" fan until I heard the cut "It Hurts Me Too."

I realize that a lot of people may not like the way Keb' Mo' has intergrated so many musical styles into his interpretation of the "Blues", but for me that's what make it so appealing. For those of us out their that are searching for something a little different, this is just the ticket. There is just enough variations in tempo, style and emotion to keep you from getting bored.
The song " Mommy Can I Come Home" is a real tear jerker and the clarity on my SACD player lets you hear every breath he makes, every stroke and slide on his guitar so well that you can close your eyes reach out and touch him. This realistic sound quality adds to the emotional involvement, which for me is one of the main reasons to purchase music in the first place.
My girlfriends daughter who listens mostly to "Rap" even asked me to borrow it. The adminstrative assistant for our office who who listens to country was bouncing in her seat when I played it for her and begged me to get her a copy.

This is clearly a CD everyone seems to identify with and after all, is that not what "Blues" is all about?
