taylor won a damn contest..........he did not come up the hard way like others who had to work their way to the top...........this is degrading for keb mo playing on stage w/a winner of some contest...........see ya at the state fair,,,,,,,,,lmfao !!!
@pvpony Obviously you know nothing about Taylor prior to what you saw on AI
He's played his fair share wherever possible and struggled for the better part of close to 15yrs. He's a working musician (the majority of AI contestant weren't)
If ignorance is bliss, you must be the happiest person alive.
@pvpony I know you well never see this and I don't know what difference it makes but you really are a know nothing. Keb Mo and Taylor were good friends long before Idol. Keb was and is a friend and a mentor of Taylors. Taylors toured and played bars all over this country for 10 years before he went on that show. He has MORE than paid his dues.
@pvpony Boy, you are so ignorant. Everything you said is false and you have no clue about Taylor and Keb's friendship looooong before Idol. Currently they are working on Taylor's new album together. Eat that.
The original by Robert Johnson was a lament, not a celebration. But everyone is free to interpret songs in their own way. That's what makes music so incredible. This is more like the Blues Brothers.
He should put out a Live album. Maybe like Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Live album it will shoot him up to the sky. The energy from his live performances are much more attractive than the clean studio sound.
MusicFreak16 He's supposed to have a LIVE DVD coming out soon "Whomp at the Warfield" (concert last May 2007 in San Francisco) It premiered on HDnet on cable last fall. Watch for it!! Also new CD in the fall and tour in early 2009.
This is Taylor at his best, leading the band, excellent vocals and just loving the music and the audience. Hope this experience is a basis for his new CD.
Fantastic! Love this song, and this combination is just like the new Blues Brothers Duo! Love It! How can anybody not get up and dance to this great music!
These guys are mediocre at best. Tired tune, for sure.
Robert Johnson is spinning in his grave with disgust every time someone watches this tripe excuse for a blues band youtube video. All flash and no real substance. I thought Keb was black. He sure plays white.
If you doubt Keb, watch him do this with Corey Harris. It's on youTube.
I agree this tune is kind of tired and this rendition somewhat flashy, the keyboards unnecessary, and not true blues, but it's OK for a middle of the road rock version of a blues song.
What am I saying?
They're playing to a party crowd, not blues aficionados, but it's a bit better than mediocre simply because the tones and the rhythm are there.
This is so gooood! Thank you so much. I'm glad I found this vid. Ü

Keb is doing a Robert Cray here.
If you doubt Keb, watch him do this with Corey Harris. It's on youTube.
