Music reviews of Peace...Back By Popular Demand

Music Review: A Weird Coincidence of A Circle, or Is It
Rating: 3 Stars

I had seen Kevin Moore, AKA Keb Mo many years ago at a live concert. This was when he was mainly doing Robert Johnson like tunes. He blew me away with how much he sounded and looked like Robert Johnson. My wife and I were so impressed that she interviewed him for a magazine. This was long before he was popular. After his first album, he developed the easy going pop blues style he is now famous for.

We too find his latest CD Peace...Back By Popular Demand to be a bit of an odd turn for him. But then he does have experience with Pop and Rock music. Long before his Keb Mo days he co-wrote a song for the Jefferson Starship and performed in Papa John Creach's solo band. This CD is certainly not Kevin's best effort but I think I understand why he decided to record these songs.

I think, like a lot of people do, that he feels this election year has shown that there is a lot of division in America. I feel this is his way of expressing his feelings about what he thinks is happening in the USA. He as others have gone back to the Sixties and Seventies for inspiration and possible answers. We need to protest for what we feel is right. These songs are positive ways of dealing with difficult cultural feelings. Many music artists these days have gone full circle back to the Nineteen Sixties to look for inspiration or honor the music that originally inspired them. Oddly, and I am sure for the same reasons the alternative rock band A Perfect Circle has released a similar (in content) set of songs but in a very different style. APC also takes several old "protest" songs but makes a very dark statement. Infact some of these arrangments are so dark and scary that they sound like they were by the related band metal alt. Tool. Weirdly, they covered two of the same songs as Keb Mo did, "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding" and "Imagine." But they are different from Keb Mo's and the originals as night and day. Actually I'd love to hear a similar album from Ben Harper. He might actually further his art with such covers. Keb Mo is best with the blues.

- Mike
