I was down for so long
Everything I did was wrong
And I found fault
In everyone but me
I was hurt and alone
I could not find my way home
Broke-down and hungry
And too tired to moan
Then I heard somebody calling my name
Saying ain't no need to be shamed
I found out that the door was always open
I was trapped in my mind
A prisoner of my own design
Lost in a world
A world of confusion
I was there by myself
Couldn't find no help no where else
Thought I'd call up the hotline
But there was nobody there
Then I heard somebody calling my name
Saying ain't no need to be shamed
I found out that the door was always open
(Instrumental Bridge)

Keb’ Mo’
Kevin Roosevelt Moore (born October 3, 1951), known as Keb' Mo', is an American blues musician. He is a singer, guitarist and songwriter, living in Nashville, Tennessee. He has been described as "a living link to the seminal Delta blues that travelled up the Mississippi River and across the expanse of America." His post-modern blues style is influenced by many eras and genres, including folk, rock, jazz, pop and country. The moniker "Keb Mo" was coined by his original drummer, Quentin Dennard, and picked up by his record label as a "street talk" abbreviation of his given name.

I saw that show as well, 'felt' like he was having a great time, very enjoyable. That is a funky theater and they do get pretty good acts there - heading back to Hilo very soon.

I saw Keb Mo play at a funky old theater in Hilo, Hawaii last January. Great show, great stories and a wonderful connection with the crowd. A soulful, passionate and fun evening of acoustic blues.

Keb Mo is ok, and fun to listen to, but he's the white bread of blues.
gotta agree but even white bread blues is better than no blues(ok Ian Anderson should NOT play the blues) Keb just sound a little over produced for me see Robert Cray for simalar problems. Still both are great guitar players.

I saw Keb Mo at Blues Concert outside of Soldier Field in Chicago in 1996 (I think). He was really, really good. I like his acoustic blues the best of all. He does some great versions of Robert Johnson songs.
In fact, I have a documentary of Robert Johnson that is narrated by Danny Glover and Keb mo plays the part of RJ when they recreate scenes in his life.

Bought this cd for Christmas a few years ago, and loved it from the very first play. Every song. Well, except "Momma can i please come home?" Dont care much for that one. Otherwise, this cd is great from the start. Then he went off on that crazy political thing (for Kerry or whatever) and has fallen off the face of the earth since. Doesn't pay to get political.

"Just Like You" is a great CD. I have it in SACD format and it sounds so very good!
