"About the least "pure" moment of BLUESAmericana is a Fender Rhodes-propelled shuffle called "I'm Gonna Be Your Man". With some oddly placed major thirds and sevenths, it's almost too purty to be blues or Americana. But so what? Keb' Mo' has made a long career out of avoiding commitments to genres, especially those that tend to snootily revel in purity and rawness. That purity may be what he was aiming for with Casey Wasner, but sometimes the man just can't help himself. He's Keb' Mo'. BLUESAmericana is not his finest album, but it's got plenty inside to remind you of why you like him in the first place".

"The Nashville-based singer and multi-instrumentalist reaffirms his status as one of the major blues stylists performing today, as well as being perhaps the genre's cleverest and most insightful tunesmith".
