    Cody B says The original was such a fave of mine as a kid, I find it difficult to like the cover. I have no probs with Mr. Mo either, but it is hard not to ask why? The sentiment is powerful though, and the voices are wonderful, so it can pleasing to the ear. I guess Keb's is like the Local, while The O'Jays version is like the Express.

    Baudolino says Hmmmm.....pleasant enough way of spending a few minutes, but I doubt that I'd want to play it a second time

    ivylander says A nice idea, actually. Would've worked better with two or three fewer elements. Sounds like they didn't really trust that the song would work in a setting this different, so they threw in the kichen sink to cover themselves. Also, sounds very session-musiciany....

    mktackabery says Jeff can spell facile - impressive in itself. i dunno, I've tried to get into Keb Mo', I never end up listening the second time to anything he does.

    dermahrk says My impression of Keb was formed while watching the Scorcese ??Blues?? series on DVD. After watching and listening to the old masters, he really seemed like Keb' Less'.

    poebegone says unfortunately i went from Annie's hearing test post to this one, so feeling a little deaf at the mo'. you know that fine line between feelin' it and forcing it? methinks Keb's train keeps crossing.
