keb' mo' is better

[mitch26]

There ain't no better or worse, there's only different. I like both of them myself.

[TampaRed]

Alvin gets overlooked, man. He's far more talented than Keb' Mo' and writes better songs. Cory Harris and Alvin are where it's at in modern Blues.

[mitch26]

They don't call it the blues for nothin'

[mitch26]

Alvin is out of Memphis but to my knowledge doesn't play there regularly. He recently accompanied Bo Diddley on tour, accompanying the backup band as well as stepping out for his own set. He tours regularly you might check out his myspace page.

I know nothing about the blues, but I've heard a lot of this guy's stuff on Pandora and I feel it in my bones.

Freaking genius.

[Chris180Z]

Does anyone else think his vocals sound a bit like Howlin Wolf? :)

[clanangeldarks]

This is a travesty, I hear that they're going to start culling badgers again?

[StarfireEKS]

it was sounds like this that made me pick up the guitar, and ppl please dont diss blues rockers or other blues musicians just because this is pure Blues :)

Long Live the Blues

if blues was money

[cartoonlike]

Thanks for posting this! It's some DEEP blues. And that's a wild guitar.

[Bluzer86]

He is as big as Howlin` Wolf :) , great bluesman.

[Doginthefog]

Great post!!! Great Alvin... keep on bluesin ;)

[MarioMoreno]

si tienes razon, pero no descredites a dany gatton o a los viejos blueseros tampoco, tienen habilidades, muchos quisieran tocar como ellos

[faunoram]

los medios masivos y el mainstream no se cansan de promocionar cosas tan triviales e intrascendentes como dany gatton, keb mo, o incluso los viejos bluseros como bb king y buddy guy que ya no tocan nada y solo repiten glorias pasadas o cliches desgastados y los muestran como los únicos representantes del blues actual pero al ver a artistas como AYH,o a RL Burnside, Jr Kimbrough, J Duck Holmes, etc. uno puede ver que el blues esta VIVO!!!

THANKS VIVA EL BLUES!!!

From him comes the blues and how we pine. for so hard the sound will fly that no other will shine. Deep it finds home, in the soul you feel the shake, like the cry of thunder your soul feels awake.
