The contemporary blues album is quite appropriately named Live & Mo.  It features six awesome live performances from notable moments on the road, and four brand new studio recordings, including the anthemic song A Brand New America, a band version of the inspirational medley Victims of Comfort, the funky sound of Government Cheese, and the back-porch rhythm and blues of Hole in the Bucket.   If you already know the mood and style past releases Keb’Mo, you’ll dig “Live & Mo”.
