Produktbeschreibungen
Country Blues war im Jahr 1994 ein vergessenes Genre alter Leute und schien mit Robert Johnson gestorben zu sein. Keb' Mo', der mit richtigem Namen eigentlich Kevin Moore heißt, verkörperte dessen Rolle in einer Fernseh-Dokumentation und fand gefallen an dem archaischen Musikstil. Mit seinem Debütalbum war der Musikstil plötzlich wieder Hip geworden, denn Keb' Mo' hatte Elemente aus Gospel und R&B hinzugefügt und so den entscheidenden Schritt in die Moderne geschafft.
Die einzelnen Songs wirken wie Rohdiamanten, die nur noch auf ein letztes bisschen Politur warten und vielleicht macht gerade dies den Reiz des Albums aus. Schnelle wie ruhige Nummern lassen von staubigen südlichen Landschaften träumen und setzen diese Variante des Blues somit recht deutlich vom Delta-Blues oder Westküsten-Blues ab. Die MFSL Variante klingt wie von einem Schleier befreit ohne in übermäßige Präsenz abzudriften. Klanglicher Tipp für Blueshörer mit klanglichem Anspruch.
Das MFSL Re-Issue erscheint im Mini-LP-Cover mit fortlaufender Seriennummer.
In age where most contemporary bluesmen strive to mimic the past and pattern their music after the greats, Keb Mo is content to be himself. Original, charismatic, and immensely gifted, the guitarist/vocalist (born Kevin Moore) brings country blues in the late 20th century on his stunning self-titled Epic debut, which quickly climbed the charts and turned the former backing instrumentalist into a household name. Replete with gritty textures, close-up vocals, and resplendent acoustics, Mobile Fidelity's scintillating SACD version of this 1994 set finally possesses the fidelity that brings Mo's Delta strains out of the backwoods and onto a lively back porch. Mastered from the original tapes, this numbered edition hybrid SACD represents the very first time that Mo's watershed album has been given a much-needed sonic facelift. Gone are the hazes that obscured his singing, artificial ceilings that blunted the highs, and digital fog that interfered with the multitude of illuminating tones, details, and notes. What's revealed is startling intimacy and soothing emotion, Mo's gorgeous vocal timbres and inflections given equal space with his guitar, harmonica, and pace. Finally, a great-sounding contemporary blues record that doesn't resort to derivative recycling and bland revivalism. The son of Southern parents, Mo channels his heritage via a batch of superb folksy songs that relax, refresh, and regale. While he's since traveled in a more commercialized pop-oriented direction, Mo's initial salvo is nothing but raw, pure blues played with unbridled passion, tremendous conviction, and what is best deemed the essence of heart and soul. Keb' Mo' engages with a compelling mix of tradition and modernity, the headliner refraining from any attempt at assuming an artificial personality and instead basing his reputation on quality songs. As such, Mo's material resonates with deep, mellow vibes and extraordinary National steel guitar work, which complements his fluid, acoustic finger-picking and soulful strumming. Mo occasionally teams with an ensemble. But this record is mostly all about the basics: guitar, voice, and harmonica. Tunes such as "Victims of Comfort" and "Angelina" testify on behalf of his phenomenal country-blues songwriting; his covers of Robert Johnson's "Come On In My Kitchen" and "Kindhearted Woman Blues" speak to his reverence for the past. Shuffles, ballads, dance songs – Mo nails them all. You owe it to yourself to hear this master musician in the finest possible sound. Every movement on the guitar fretboard, every breath Mo takes before exhaling words, every crisp and gutsy pluck of the strings – they have never possessed more dynamics, detail, or life. Imaging and soundstaging are incredible. Keb' Mo' remains one of the finest blues albums made in the post-Stevie Ray Vaughan era. Don't miss this American gem that so many have since tried to copy.
Review by Thom Owens Keb' Mo's self-titled debut is an edgy, ambitious collection of gritty country blues. Keb' Mo' pushes into new directions, trying to incorporate some of the sensibilites of the slacker revolution without losing touch of the tradition that makes the blues the breathing, vital art form it is. His attempts aren't always successful, but his gutsy guitar playing and impassioned vocals, as well as his surprisingly accomplished songwriting, make Keb' Mo' a debut to cherish.
