Keb' Mo' - Keb' Mo'

Numbered Limited-Edition Hybrid SACD; Mastered From The Original Master Tapes

1994 Self-Titled Major Label Debut - A Folk Blues Classic

In an age where most contemporary bluesmen strive to mimic the past and pattern their music after the greats, Keb' Mo' is content to be himself. Original and immensely gifted, the guitarist/vocalist (born Kevin Moore) brings country blues in the late 20^th century on his stunning self-titled Epic debut, which quickly climbed the charts and turned the former backing instrumentalist into a household name. Replete with gritty textures, close-up vocals and resplendent acoustics, Mobile Fidelity's scintillating SACD version of this 1994 set finally possesses the fidelity that brings Mo's Delta strains out of the backwoods and onto a lively back porch.

Mastered from the original tapes, this numbered limited-edition hybrid SACD represents the very first time that Mo's watershed album has been given a much-needed sonic facelift. Gone are the hazes that obscured his singing, artificial ceilings that blunted the highs and digital fog that interfered with the multitude of illuminating tones, details and notes. What's revealed is startling intimacy and soothing emotion, Mo's gorgeous vocal timbres and inflections given equal space with his guitar, harmonica and pace. Finally, a great-sounding contemporary blues record that doesn't resort to derivative recycling and bland revivalism.

Average sound posted on 11/19/2011 2 Stars The cd sounds much fresher. If you like the sound thin, lacking body, then this sacd is for you.The sacd does not pop out but is mellow. Great album by a great artist.
