It's such an honor to receive this recognition from the Recording Academy and to stand alongside such respected artists."
Good To Be debuted atop multiple Billboard Charts including #1 on the Blues Album chart and #11 on the Heatseekers Chart. In their 4.5 out of 5 star review, American Songwriter called the album "...effortlessly engaging while imbuing consistent good vibes and an ease brought about through infectious enthusiasm," while Folk Alley proclaimed "...Mo's mellifluous vocals sing directly to the deepest part of us, and his music creates an aura that wraps us in the warmth of that delivery."
Upon release, Keb' Mo' performed his single "Good To Be (Home Again)" on The Kelly Clarkson Show, sat down with PBS Newshour for a career-spanning interview and was featured on NPR's Weekend Edition.
