Following the release of the thought-provoking Oklahoma album in spring 2019, a record that brought worldly issues to the forefront, Keb’ Mo’ returned to lift spirits with a heartfelt feel-good Christmas outing, Moonlight, Mistletoe & You, released October 18 – both albums were issued via Snakefarm Records in the UK. 

Moonlight, Mistletoe & You embraces Keb’ Mo’s diverse talents to great effect, showing that this celebrated blues exponent is just as adept addressing R&B and Americana-styled roots music. Produced byKeb’ himself, the record provides seven new songs plus three covers…

After 25 years of performing without releasing a Christmas album, I felt now was as good a time as any to spread some love and compassion,” he reflects. 

“There’s something about Christmas time that makes everyone’s heart a little lighter, and I wanted to contribute to the movement of spreading a little joy. I feel like I was able to accomplish that through the making of the album”.

Jan 22 – London, Subterania
