Keb’ Mo’ – Youtube Channel

I’m a big fan of Keb’ Mo’ but I was just made aware of his Youtube channel through a Facebook post and a tweet on Twitter.  Yes, I follow him both places.  Right now, the channel has 14 videos uploaded and I am hoping for more.  The current featured video is Better Man, which Keb’ performed last weekend on the Music City:  Keep On Playin’ flood relief telethon.

His latest CD is the independently released Live & Mo, which is a compilation of new and old songs, live and studio recorded.  It’s a must have for any Keb’ Mo’ fan.

Spoonful James – “Are You Listening”

Auburn, Alabama based Spoonful James is out with their first CD in eight years, “Are You Listening”.

With Wynn Christian, on guitars and lead vocals, Quinn Borland on bass guitar, Eric Baath on piano and Hammond B-3 organ, and Patrick Lunceford on drums, the band has produced a CD with a bluesy, southern rock feel.  My first listen was very positive and I look forward to spending a bit more time with the songs on this CD.

The band are long-time friends of American Idol Season 5 winner Taylor Hicks.  Hicks co-wrote his recent single, “Seven Mile Breakdown” with Spoonful’s lead vocalist Wynn Christian.

You can listen to song samples at CDBaby.com and buy individual songs or the entire CD at CDBaby or on  iTunes.  You can also find a few songs in their entirety on the band’s myspace page.

Here are a few video samples:
