For the life of me, I cannot figure out how it's possible that I'm just discovering this gentleman and his music here in 2023... Damn this rock I've been living under. Well, better late than never as they say!
The man is simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. He is not just an outstanding musician, he is truly good people. I took my 1957 Gibson to a concert (VIP) passes. He hung out with the crow, had drinks, joked around and simply was one of us. In the end, he not only signed my guitar, but played it. It was the night of my life. His lyrics tell stories, family stories, relationship stories...The man is an open book with his life through his music....just plain as real as it gets. He's truly an inspiration.
About 15 years ago I was at my local library that provided CDs you could borrow. I wanted to listen to musicians I wasn't familiar with and Keb Mo was one I took home, listened to and then bought many additional ones of my own. Saw him at the EXPN music festival many years ago and as many times as possible; last time in Greenville, South Carolina in 2023. Always a total joy to hear!
first song I ever heard by Keb was "Better Man"....pulled me right up out a depression that had lasted for months...music IS magic...Keb Mo is one of a kind...accept no substitutes...;)
in 1997 to 1999, I was very fortunate to have lived on the beautiful island of Guam in the western Pacific. Whilst there, I heard this song being played on one of the many radio stations, and this song takes me back.....
Well I'm 36 years old and I completely agree with what you just said! Keb Mo in general is a Top 5 for me. But this is one of my favorite songs from him as well. Smooth!
I was leaving a Delbert McClinton concert, years ago, Keb Mo was sitting outside at he club next door asking people to come in and hear his music, I talked to him a little while, decided it was too late.........................................................didn't go,saw him on House of Blues about a week later, and rued my decision!!! hope I get another chance here in Houston. Barry
This song STILL kicks ass! I learnt this song 25 years ago, so that I could play drums and sing goodbye to a good friend of mine. Brought the house down! Thanks Keb!
Love this song by my childhood/church friend Kevin. My dad was the founder and pastor of the "Double Rock Baptist Church" that he mentions in the song, and I'm so glad he memorialized the church as part of his upbringing in our home town of Compton.
As a classmate and PK in a different ⛪ in the community, I relate too. I recognize those names and mothers mentioned in the lyrics. One of the most resonating aspects of this work is a magnificent musical 🎸 refutation of the novelist Tom Wolfe. Fabulous lyrics and that refrain is unforgettable🎶
Hello Thanks for your comment and supports, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep praying and don't ever stop believing in God ❤️Please send me via kebmo437@gmail.com...........
I worked with him on Touched By An Angel the Tv Series and I bought his CD and listened to it everyday to and from the set. Then I started buying all of his music. He played for us live at the series wrap party.
i heard this for the first time on a qantas flight ,many years ago , i had a jazz/ blues up bringing as a kid and this just nailed it ! 10 years on i still love it
I grew up in "Carmelita's" projects, 1965-1973, a "stones throw" from "Compton." xoxo It wasn't like "TV" for sure brother! :) Long Beach Cali my soul center. ;)
Jedna z moich ulubionych solówek gitarowych, którą sobie wyciąłem za pomocą cool edit pro w latach 90 aby jej słuchać w kółko, a to już minęło 28 lat... pozdrowienia z Polski ;)
Ever since I first heard ya Keb, I keep trying to turn people on to your soul....... I don't even mind so much when they don't dig it..... because I dig it, and it feels so much like something I may or might do...... Keep on Keepin' Brother........ Awesoem Musice.....
He "slew" that elrctic guitar part!! Especially when he starts those absolutely hypnotic guitar riffs!! I had this maxi single back in the Summer of 1996!!🎸 I was listening to Warren G , Snoop Dog, 2pac and I found the hidden Gem at a used CD store!! 💎 🎶 It still ROCKS!!!!!!
Nothing Like A Honest Story Song...Hits HOME..Brings me to Tears...Uplifting and Hopeful...Brings out our collective HUMANITY...Highest Kudo's Mister Mo'...Thanks
I too remember childhood in Compton in the 60's, Mom's "church friends" picnics,fruit trees, big backyards in the summertime, and the living was easy,~Peace,Jv~
The imagery in this song is beautiful... so optimistic in spite of poverty and stereo types of living in Compton, LA. The lyrics just hits my heart and the level musicianship is topnotch. One of my all time favorites
Never heard of Keb' Mo, a friend gave me the CD and said I would like it....My friend knows me very well.....I LOVE this song. I will continue to support this artist, he is right on the money. Much love to you Brother, Keep it up! Brian W.

First time I heard this song on my car stereo driving home from work, I felt it's power deep in my soul. It's such a powerful song. I can listen to it all day long. A masterpiece by the maestro Keb Mo
Just discovered Keb'Mo' -- O MY!!! makes me weep - the blues - good good melodies & lyrics -l beautiful mansoul - thank you for existing, playing your guitar and voice, your shining smile of love...
Such a laid back and relaxing style. Have been lsitening to Keb Mo' for a while now and enjoy his music a great deal. Not sure why but this song always makes me feel good about life. Keb Mo' is a definite "must see" for me!
I loved watching this music video when I was back home after school when I was 13 I found this song so soothing and relaxing and I still love it after 26 years
Wow! Just heard this on internet radio...instant fan. This tune (and video) appeals to all my senses, you know that spot where you get a shiver and a little teary eyed. I love Kev's talent and I love how this song makes me feel so much better during these so uncertain times. Excuse me while I go and download some more Keb' Mo :)
Lyrics- Daddy came around every once in a while But momma, she was there all the time And summertime in Compton was not like TV But we were right there where we needed to be And the Thurmond Boys on Peach Street with only their dad So proud of themselves and that old Pontiac they had And Miss Brooks, her Bible and her three little boys At the Double Rock Baptist Church makin' a joyful noise There's more than one way home Ain't no right way, ain't no wrong And whatever road you might be on You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home Got me a job at the grocery store Workin' weekdays after school from 5 to 9 And Tommy, John and Charlie were the neighborhood stars With their midsize homes and their big fancy cars And when the eagle flied on Friday I'd go out to play Wastin' time with Otis out on the dock of the bay And my ticket to adventure was a ride on the bus Different places, different faces but they were just like us Well, there's more than one way home Ain't no right way, ain't no wrong And whatever road you might be on You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home Well, there's more than one way home Ain't no right way, ain't no wrong Whatever road you might be on You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home There's more than one way home And there ain't no right way, ain't no wrong Whatever road you might be on You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home More than one way home Ain't no right way, no wrong Whatever road you might be on You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home

My dad used to say “ The eagle screams” on Friday when he got home from work. ☘️ Thanks for reminder!!! 💞

When folks say "they don't make music like this anymore," well even Keb' doesn't make music like this anymore. Beautiful song.

Put a Woman In Charge with Roseanne Cash was my intro to him and his music. ❤
Love "Grandma's Hands"
He always finds a way to hold his hand out and help me up. A prophet in the truest sense!
I love this song. It just has this light hearted feel that is very satisfying
I think Keb is telling us that we all have different paths in life that can lead us to spirit. In any case, what a sublime song...
Indeedeedoodee :)
The first time I heard this song some years ago, I became interested in Keb' Mo's music...😊
in 1997 to 1999, I was very fortunate to have lived on the beautiful island of Guam in the western Pacific. Whilst there, I heard this song being played on one of the many radio stations, and this song takes me back.....
I am fifty years old and this song stays in my top 5 songs. Nothing about this isn't awesome. Masterpiece!
Right on brother :)
and i am 65yo ...
Well I'm 36 years old and I completely agree with what you just said! Keb Mo in general is a Top 5 for me. But this is one of my favorite songs from him as well. Smooth!
What r the other songs
A fantastic song beautifully performed. It’s perfect.
Others have found the words to describe this song: Sublime. Masterpiece. Perfect. National Treasure. I can't improve upon those descriptors.
I can listen to this song everyday for the rest of my life and it will always make me smile
I was leaving a Delbert McClinton concert, years ago, Keb Mo was sitting outside at he club next door asking people to come in and hear his music, I talked to him a little while, decided it was too late.........................................................didn't go,saw him on House of Blues about a week later, and rued my decision!!! hope I get another chance here in Houston.

Remember exactly when and where I was the first time I heard this gem 26 yrs ago. Perfection still.
This song STILL kicks ass! I learnt this song 25 years ago, so that I could play drums and sing goodbye to a good friend of mine. Brought the house down! Thanks Keb!

I need a Time Machine. Man this is so good. You can just see the 90s all over the video in the color. Ugh I miss it
He won't sell out.... He is truly a spiritual person. I love you Man keep doing what you do!
So true.
Every 'new to me' song of Keb"s I hear immediately becomes my favorite. There is such a grace to this man's soul.

Listening to this Jan 3rd 2023 ... Love the arrangement, lyrics, chord changes and the video. Great voice. Great song! Greetings from London UK.
Timeless, still today.
God comes around every once in a while,
but the Holy Spirit, She's there all the time.
Thanks Keb'Mo'!
She's?
God is always around and with us. We just need to open up our eyes and hearts to truly Truly see, in Jesus's Name Amen ✝️
@@lvelez1999 . "like a hen gathering her chicks under her wings" It's a stretch, Lisa, I know, but it matched Keb' Mo's song. See Matthew 23:37.
Keb Mo is a national treasure. I just love him and his music!
Nothing Like A Honest Story Song...Hits HOME..Brings me to Tears...Uplifting and Hopeful...Brings out our collective HUMANITY...Highest Kudo's Mister Mo'...Thanks
I can hear some George Benson's vibe and i love it! Keb is an AMAZING talent!
Eu também achei a voz muito parecida com George benson, potente, límpida, e a guitarra 🎸 ,canta junto
Definitely George benson here. Very nice
I too remember childhood in Compton in the 60's, Mom's "church friends" picnics,fruit trees, big backyards in the summertime, and the living was easy,~Peace,Jv~

Forever favorite ❤️#KebMo #MoreThanOneWayHome
Straight up, good feeling song. We need so much more of them
Lyrics-
Daddy came around every once in a while
But momma, she was there all the time
And summertime in Compton was not like TV
But we were right there where we needed to be
And the Thurmond Boys on Peach Street with only their dad
So proud of themselves and that old Pontiac they had
And Miss Brooks, her Bible and her three little boys
At the Double Rock Baptist Church makin' a joyful noise
There's more than one way home
Ain't no right way, ain't no wrong
And whatever road you might be on
You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home
Got me a job at the grocery store
Workin' weekdays after school from 5 to 9
And Tommy, John and Charlie were the neighborhood stars
With their midsize homes and their big fancy cars
And when the eagle flied on Friday I'd go out to play
Wastin' time with Otis out on the dock of the bay
And my ticket to adventure was a ride on the bus
Different places, different faces but they were just like us
Well, there's more than one way home
Ain't no right way, ain't no wrong
And whatever road you might be on
You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home
Well, there's more than one way home
Ain't no right way, ain't no wrong
Whatever road you might be on
You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home
There's more than one way home
And there ain't no right way, ain't no wrong
Whatever road you might be on
You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home
More than one way home
Ain't no right way, no wrong
Whatever road you might be on
You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home
I love this song! What a smooth voice. Been listening to him since the 1990's and he never disappoints!
I'm no Christian, but I feel that spirit listening to this man.
Une des plus belles de tes mélodies Keb ! Merci !
man i love this one! way to go mo!!
Incredible love you KeB!
