-----
Keb' Mo' is one of the foremost contemporary blues artists. With an endearing sense of faith in humanity evident on most of his tracks and a very interestingly textured voice, this man has successfully merged traditional Delta blues and modern acoustic singer-songwritership. While it's a stretch to call him a traditionalist, Keb' Mo' plays a mean guitar, and the meticulously played guitar on each one of his songs is awe-inspiring.
After spending his early career backing blues artists up, he released his debut album in 1994. He also appeared in Scorsese's film about the blues. As the only man to my knowlege that has incorporated the word "internet" into a blues song, it is clear that Keb' Mo' is unique and has, in an unprecedented manner, carved out his own genre that never fails to make the listener smile.

Keb' Mo' Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gonna shout it out everywhere
I love my baby, hot, cold, fast or slow
I love my baby, gonna tell everybody I know
In the evening in my bed
I hear voices in my head
They say, "never, never ever let her go"
Yes, I love my baby, gonna tell everybody I know
Other women don't mean a thing to me
You can pick 'em all up, drop 'em all in the sea
If I got no money, she don't care
She'll open up her pocket book and pay my fare
I know she loves me, up, down, high or low
Well, I love my baby, gonna tell everybody I know
Yes, I love my baby, gonna tell everybody I know
Other women don't mean a thing to me
You can pick 'em all up, drop 'em all in the sea
'Cause if I got no money, you know she don't care
She'll open up her pocket book and pay my fare
I know she loves me, up, down, high or low
Well, I love my baby, gonna tell everybody I know
Yes, I love my baby, gonna tell everybody I know
She's a sweet thing
She's a fine thing
She's a loving thing
Gonna tell everybody I know
Tell everybody I know
Tell everybody I know
Tell everybody I know
She's a sweet thing
Loving thing
I know she loves me, hot, cold, fast or slow
Gonna tell everybody I know
You know I love my baby
