Bluesamericana

Description

No. 1 Billboard blues debut by the 3-time Grammy-winning artist

Includes album download w/ bonus track and poster fold-out

Guitarist/vocalist Keb Mo draws heavily on the old-fashioned country blues style of Robert Johnson while keeping his sound contemporary with touches of soul and folksy storytelling. A skilled frontman as well as an accomplished sideman, he writes much of his own material and has applied his acoustic, electric, and slide guitar skills to jazz- and rock-oriented bands.

Here, the three-time Grammy winner and visionary roots-music storyteller embarks on a new chapter in his career with Bluesamericana on Kind of Blue Music. His 12th full-length album marks the 20th anniversary of his self-titled debut. But, more importantly, the disc is a signpost of artistic and personal growth.

I only make albums when Im inspired to, and these 10 songs come from a very honest place, Keb relates. Bluesamericana is the beginning of the next phase of who I am.

Recorded in Nashville, and produced by Keb Mo and Casey Wasner, Bluesamericana features some of Kebs most poignant and joyful songs. Wall Street Journals Speakeasy premiered the first single, The Old Me Better, which gets its Crescent City sound from guest artists The California Feetwarmers. NPR hails Keb Mo as the Modern ambassador for the blues.
