Keb' Mo'GuestDean FieldsHost[gentle guitar music] Welcome to Song Diving, where songwriters go deep into the songs they wrote and the songs that wrote them.
Our guest today is five-time Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and guitarist Keb' Mo'.
We dive in with him to talk about songs like Am I Wrong, Every Morning, Life Is Beautiful, and Stitched Up Heart.
We also geek out on the songs and artists who shaped the way he hears and writes songs, from Motown and the blues to Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, Paul Simon, and Taylor Swift.
Along the way, we talk about why he considers one of his biggest failures his biggest success, why honesty and simplicity matter in songwriting, and the record he says he's been threatening to make for 30 years.
It's a conversation about the long road to becoming yourself, the wrong turns that point you in the right direction, and why the truth is usually the best place to start a song.
