And here's what the press is saying about Keb' Mo' and The Door:

• "You may have to suffer to sing the blues, but listening to The Door is pure joy." – New York Post
• "[Keb's] smoky, Redding-esque vocals and the band's grit-free backing make the travails outlined in his lyrics easier to endure – less a soul-wrenching than a life-affirming spin on his roots in the blues." – Los Angeles Times
• "Filled with strongly crafted songs, most of which were written or co-written by Keb' Mo', The Door resonates with joy and heartache." – People magazine
• "[Keb's] wonderfully expressive voice and deft guitar work elevate him miles above the competitive ranks. Do yourself a favor: Take a break from the doldrums of the trendy bands of the moment and pay a little respect to the kind of musicianship and creativity that will stand the test of time." – Billboard
