OK blues fans. And I am talking to REAL blues fans, not this so-called blues garbage that some folks think pass as blues. But the real deal blues thang. This is it! It is absolutely refreshing to listen to great blues music, not only played well but sang well too! Keb is the man. The cuts on this album starting with "Muddy Waters" and going to "When I Get Paid" are all little gems. This is great driving in your car, hanging with your mate, chillin' by the pool with the headphones on kinda blues. Anyone who thinks that blues music makes you sad don't know nuthin' about da blues. Listen to this stuff and I guarantee a toe tappin', smile on your face grinnin' good time!

I would have to say that I have listened to Keb Mo's first two albums more than I have done anything else over the last year. That's why I was so fired up about the release of "Slow Down." Unfortunately, this album did nothing for me. If you're like me, and you love the soft roll of Keb's guitar, and the scratchy wail of his voice then this isn't the album for you. It's too upbeat, peppy, not bluesy at all.

This is my first real taste of Keb Mo.If this is the main course, give me more. Mr. Moore has something for everyone on this release. I first heard some of the tracks from Slow Down on a live broadcast on KFOG Radio. The broadcast was so good, and I had heard that there was an import recording of the show, that I was actually looking for that CD. Since I couldn't find it, I had to "settle" for Slow Down. Now I wish I hadn't waited. Keb Mo takes you form the Delta to Jump Blues and everywhere in between. This is not a purists blues CD, but rather one that will appeal to the masses. I look for a certain quality in music, particulary in the lyrics and Slow Down fits the bill. If you buy this CD, you'll keep it and want to share it.

It's just the way it should be. Allright, I did not gave the 5 stars, because "I Just Can't Be Satisfied" and I sincerely hope to hear a better album, a better song and a better Mo', but "Slow Down" continue to puzzle me! I can't see how something like play acoustic blues to a new generation could be better than this.

This collection of blues songs by Keb' Mo' epitomizes the contemporary blues scene. His lyrics are timeless yet modern and he captures that desperation, longing, and sadness we all feel.

WOW! This CD totally blew me away; I've loved the blues since I was twelve, listening to nighttime DJ Jimmy Rabbit on KLIF in Dallas playin' Jimmy Reed's "Bright Lights, Big City" more than 40 yrs ago, but when I heard this, it was like I was hearing the blues for the first time. Motown, Memphis, Mississippi delta, it's all here, and it's all GOOD. This is the kind of CD you can put on repeat and never get tired of it!
