Moonlight, mistletoe & you

"Despite the digital gloss of "Merry Merry Christmas" and the bouncy "Better Everyday," Moonlight, Mistletoe and You still winds up as a cozy listen, all due to Keb' Mo''s emphasis on sweetness and good humor. The entire album is a celebration - when he's lamenting the holiday on "Christmas Is Annoying," his tongue is firmly in cheek - and that's what makes it an appealing soundtrack for the season".

"Utilizing warm, accessible vocal tones, Keb Mo' gracefully navigates the lyrics of old standards like "Please Come Home For Christmas" in his comforting pop style on "Moonlight, Mistletoe & You". Shifting the mood, he and guitarist Akil Thompson light real blues fires on "Santa Claus, Santa Claus" and Koko Taylor's "Merry, Merry Christmas". Keb Mo' deserves an extra slice of gingerbread cake for daring to poke Mr. Claus in the belly with the witty, anti-consumerism anthem "Christmas Is Annoying"".
