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)

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 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. Walrus_Gumbo wrote:

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.

Side note....Mars will be as close to earth as possible Aug 27 2006 at 11:00pm pacific standard time. This has not happened in 60 million years and will not come this close again for another 60 million years. This is a once in a lifetime event.

The very definition of easy-going.

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.

I met Keb' years ago, back when he was Kevin Moore, playing in a bar band here in CA. Nice guy.

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

If you like this, buy "Slow Down," his best album in IMO. Good song, but he's got better. Gets an 8. > :-)

This guy is a hell of a slide player. Not my favorite of his but has some good feeling.
