Keb' Mo' - More than one way home



Artist ----  Keb' Mo'
Song   ----  More than one way home
Album  ----  Just Like You (1996)

Background: Just like You is the second album by Delta blues artist Keb' Mo' (born as Kevin Moore in 1951). In 1997, Just Like You won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album. He released his first album in 1994 and has won three Grammy Awards so far. He played together with Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Buddy Guy and the Dixie Chicks, just to name a few.

Trivia: In 1998 he portrayed blues legend Robert Johnson in a documentary film, "Can't You Hear the Wind Howl?".

My two cents: I love this song! Especially the message within the lyrics, with Keb' Mo' telling stories from his childhood and then stating in the chorus that there indeed is more than just one way home. The song is a great blues-pop arrangement with a well-played guitar solo. Notice how he is following the groove of that song with his foot and body movements. This guy must be full of awesomeness and groove. Wearing a hat is important when playing blues, I suppose.

Cite: You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home
