Just Like You

Keb' Mo's' 'Just Like You' isn't just for blues lovers only. Its thirteen tracks - twelve originals plus a striking interpretation of Robert Johnson's classic "Last Fair Deal Gone Down" - will appeal to anyone who appreciates a heartfelt lyric, a well-crafted melody, and a flawless mix of passion and grit.

'Just Like You' won Kevin Morrison (a.k.a. Keb' Mo') the 1997 Grammy Award for "Best Contemporary Blues Album".

"...On his second album, this freewheeling traditionalist works his alchemy on sweet country blues, gritty juke-joint jive, uptempo R&B, and even breezy, George Benson-style jazz-pop..."
- Entertainment Weekly (6/21/96)

"...he's a fine acoustic picker, a witty songsmith and a hugely likeable live entertainer....his style has charm and vigour enough to transcend Blues-U-Like disposablity..."
- Q (8/96)

"The second Okeh release from Mo' finds him dustin' off the country blues of his acclaimed debut, updating the sound with full band backing on most tracks.

With guests including Jackson Browne and Bonnie Raitt, backing vocalists and percussionist Munyungo Jackson, Keb reveals his West Coast roots.

The subject matter of his songs deals with contemporary societal malaise coupled with blues themes. Avoiding the cliches of the form, Keb' Mo' will ensure that the blues will be heard in contemporary music in the 21st century."
