Faithful. 25 years since his career began, Kevin Roosevelt Moore – a.k.a Keb’ Mo – has always remained deeply faithful to the blues. A righteous path which has never kept him from adding his own stone to a building which already has many, many builders. Oklahoma in that sense is an original project – a stone of his own, if you will. There are no links between him, his story and that state which borders Colorado and Kansas to the north, Missouri and Arkansas to the east, New Mexico to the west and Texas to the south. In 2013, Keb’ Mo, along with Kenny Wayne Shepherd, travelled there for a disaster relief fund concert, following a deadly tornado. Friendships were born, along with a need to create something which would be anchored to that region. Keb’ Mo’s blues is intertwined with country, native American and folk music; Robert Randolph and his impressionistic lap steel playing came along, with Rosanne Cash, as well as Taj Mahal – with whom he wrote the album TajMo in 2017. True to himself, his lyrics scrutinize America’s internalized suffering as well our era’s new set of problems.
