	Grammy Awards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		However, the Grammys, usually held in February, (last of what are considered the big three music awards shows, including the BMA and AMA shows) are considered the approximate equivalent to the Academy Award, in the music world.
		Unlike the Academy Awards, for which the eligiblilty period begins January 1, the eligibility period for the Grammys begins October 1, which results in September being considered the Christmas sales period for the music industry (in which artists generally release big albums to qualify for the next years Grammy).
		So, for example, John Lennon & Yoko Onos album Double Fantasy was released in November, 1980 in music, a month-and-a-half too late to qualify for the 1981 Grammys, and thus eligible for the 1982 awards (it eventually won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year).

	George Graham Reviews Keb' Mo's "Slow Down"
		The result is another fine album that is not exactly blues in the pure, traditional sense, but which does incorporate acoustic blues styles in a mix that once again runs from rock to easy-going pop songs.
		A couple of notable fellow contemporary blues performers, Colin Linden and fellow New Orleans resident Anders Osborne put in guest appearances, and in the case of Osborne, collaborate in the songwriting.
		But typical of major-label albums, the recording was compressed too much in the mastering process, taking away some of the dynamics that the acoustic instrumentation can afford.

		Keb' Mo' draws heavily on the old-fashioned country blues styles, but keeps his sound contemporary with touches of soul and folksy storytelling.
		In 1998 Slow Down, his second Grammy winning album confirmed his arrival as a fresh voice inspired by a classic idiom.
		2005 was a creatively diverse year for Keb' Mo' as he focused on songwriting (with the Dixie Chicks "I Hope" Grammy nomination for Country song of the year), producing (the subdudes) and music for television and film ("Freddie" on WB Television, "All The Kings Men" and "RV" both films to be released in 2006).

	Steve Earle - Transcendental Blues (Album Review)
		He just released Transcendental Blues, his fifth album in as many years, and though it follows the same genre-jumping flight path as his 1997 release El Corazon, the new album is far more cohesive, carrying a gracefully thematic storyline.
		Earle's songs are timeless as they majestically dance their way through folk, blues, and bluegrass styles, while emoting his pain and anguish with resolute conviction.
		The result is a perfect blend of rock, outlaw country, blues, pop, folk, psychedelia, and bluegrass that serves as the fitting framework for Earle's deeply personal lyrics.

		Born: 16-Sep-1925, Indianola, MS Universally hailed as the reigning king of the blues, the legendary B.B. King is without a doubt the single most important electric guitarist of the last half century.
		A contemporary blues guitar solo without at least a couple of recognizable King-inspired bent notes is all but unimaginable, and he remains a supremely confident singer capable of wringing every nuance from any lyric (and he's tried his hand at many an unlikely song -- anybody recall his version of "Love Me Tender"?).

	Keb'Mo' "Just like you" - A Music Review on TNT-Audio [English]
		Scott and Geoff wrote a very fine review of his debut album (on Okeh/Epic) a couple of years ago here on TNT-Audio, when that album, originally published in 1994, was reissued on 180-grams vinyl by Absolute Analogue.
		Clearly, the album appears more "mature" than the previous "Keb'mo" in the sense that it sounds more like a "studio" one.
		One of the best sounding tracks is the title track ("Just like you") where you can find even Jackson Browne lending a hand (actually, his voice) to Keb'Mo'.
