 Heard a song on Boston Legal. Nov 19, 2008
Just heard this version of The Times They Are A Changing on Boston Legal and had to order the album. I'm sure I'll like the whole disc.

A Blues Man with a Conscience Sep 24, 2006
I have owned this CD for a while and I keep coming back to play it for comfort. I love his blues style and interpretation of old Vietnam war classics. The timeing and message is clear, but the songs are beautiful. He can do it all! What a musician!

Different - and an impressive effort Mar 15, 2006
Having been a fan for years - and seen Keb play live - this is a different bag from the blues-inspired material that put him on the map. Some have knocked this CD as it ain't blues; don't much matter to me - the guy is still a great musician. Nice arrangements of some oldies played with a lot of heart.

As meaningful, uplifting, and enjoyable as ever! Dec 27, 2005
I have loved Keb' Mo for about 10 years. I knew that there were mixed reviews for this CD, but I still put it on my Christmas wish list and I'm glad I did. He makes the covers his own. I don't hear the original artists, but the message of the songs which seems to be his intent. I love how he applies his style especially to the Bob Dylan song which I understand more now than before! With every song I thought, "Okay, this is my favorite." Now it's impossible to decide. Some of the songs made me want to dance and think at the same time!
I respect the man and his music because he always seems to be earthy and true to his heart no matter the subject. He expresses his heart for the world using the message of these carefully chosen songs. (Inside the CD sleeve there is a line from each song that seems to be the reason it was chosen.) He has written songs like Victims of Comfort (Keb Mo) and Stand up And Be Strong (The Door) that show his long-standing concern for people to take responsibility to change the world.
As meaningful, uplifting, and enjoyable as ever!

 I want my money back Jan 10, 2005
I keep buying Keb Mo's new records, everytime thinking "Well.. this time i'm sure there will be more blues and less pop rubbish", But i keep getting fooled all the time. Why in the world is he considerd being a blues artist? I can't find one single blues tune on this album for crying out loud! And to think what other albums i could have bought for the kind of money a brand new CD like this cost. I recently saw Keb Mo' in Martin Scorseses "The Blues" series, where he said that when he was young he would always take his car and see Led Zepelin. What? I would have gone to see BB King, Muddy Waters, The Wolf, John Lee Hooker, or maybe Ray Charles or The Good Doc. (You know who i'm talkin about). I haven't heard Led Zepelin, but i'm pretty sure it isn't blues.
Keb Mo's second album titled "Just like you" (1996) has alote of blues on it. That's a real good album. Of all the Keb Mo albums i've got, that has got most blues. But i mean.. look at these other cats who are listed under blues, they don't mix this kind of pop trash into their albums. they simply play the blues, and nothing else. This was the biggest disepointment so far from Keb Mo, silly pop abum. I'ts obvious that blues isn't what Keb Mo wants to do. I think Keb Mo's albums should be listed under "Pop" in the future. was this rewiev helpfull to you, muppets? I will probrably keep buying Keb Mo albums and keep getting screwed. By the way, i sent this CD back.
