Life-Changing Art: Keb' Mo'

What piece of art changed your life? How did it affect you?

The book that changed my life is The Game OF Life And How To Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn, and the film that was a revelation was The Matrix. Both the film and the book changed the way I perceived reality, the way I think about manifestation of a goal. There is a way to manifest goals and objectives while honoring who I am and have it be for the highest good and personal good.

Keb' Mo' kicks off the concert season at Strathmore this Thursday at 8 pm. He's the consummate bluesman, but as his answer above indicates, he has a few surprises up his sleeve. Case in point—his new CD, The Reflection, includes guest spots from soul singer India.Arie and country superstar Vince Gill.
