Real name Kevin Moore, Keb Mo' has been slowly building a rep in the
world of Blues music. Suitcase (Epic Records) marks the Los Angeles
native's eighth album and should further cement him as one of the
great Blues music innovators. While some Blues music purists aren't
as enamored with Keb Mo's unique take on the genre (some feel that
his hybrid sound strays too far from old school Robert Johnson blues),
at the very least the singer/guitarist/songwriter represents an
innovative style, pushing the musical boundaries and ending up in new
territory.

Indeed, the artist himself has said that the Delta blues and
Mississippi River style of Johnson has heavily influenced his
contemporary sound. He has portrayed the blues legend in the
documentary film Can't You Hear the Wind Howl? and also covered classic
Johnson tracks "Come on in My Kitchen" and "Kindhearted Woman Blues".
Most recently, he has been collaborating with American Idol winner
Taylor Hicks.
