"I worked on this record for the better part of two years, " explained Keb' Mo' in a press release. "It took me some time as this was an educational process for me and my engineer John Schirmer. I didn't want to let it go until I had something that I was proud to share with the public. It's the culmination of all of my influences throughout my career." In related news, Keb' Mo' recently guest starred on TNT's hit show "Memphis Beat". The Grammy Award winner is the music composer for the show and performs the theme song. Prior to the show in Somerville, Keb' Mo' will perform at the Calvin Theatre in Northampton, Massachusetts on September 21.
