Keb’ Mo’: Peace … Back by Popular Demand (1x LP 180g)

"Peace ... Back By Popular Demand" finds Keb' Mo' covering nine classic protest and peace songs from the 1960s and early '70s, and what is immediately apparent is how well these songs translate forward into the current political milieu. This is an album where the songs themselves are the stars, and Keb' Mo' wisely takes a low-key and measured vocal approach to each of them, letting the messages take hold over light soul-jazz backings, with just enough funk in the horn charts to give the arrangements some push. It's hard to argue with the song selection, but as an interpreter, Mo' seldom makes any of these tracks his own, and behind each stands the ghostly but clear memory of the original version. Obviously Mo' isn't trying to top the Hit Parade with anything here, and his effort to bring these important songs into a new light is laudable. "Peace ... Back By Popular Demand" is not a major album, but it does have some major things to say, or re-say, in this case, and it serves as a reminder that every era could use (and deserves) some peace. Es ist überraschend, wie hervorragend Keb' Mo's Coversionen neun klassischer Protest- und Friedens-Songs auf "Peace ... Back By Popular Demand" ins derzeitige politische Milieu passen. In diesem Album sind die Lieder selbst die Stars, und Keb' Mo' nähert sich klugerweise jedem von ihnen leise und maßvoll, indem er den Botschaften den Vorrang gibt vor einem leichten Soul-Jazz Hintergrund mit eben gerade genug Funk im Zwischenspiel der Hörner, um dem Arrangement ein bißchen Schwung zu geben. Es ist schwierig, etwas über die Auswahl der Songs zu sagen, aber als Interpret macht Mo' sich selten eines dieser Lieder zu Eigen, hinter jedem einzelnen steht glasklar die Erinnerung an die Originalversion. Offensichtlich versucht Mo' hier mitnichten, auf Platz Eins der Hitparade zu kommen, und sein Bemühen, diese wichtigen Songs in ein neues Licht zu rücken, ist lobenswert. "Peace...Back by Popular Demand“ ist keines der großen Alben, aber es hat uns einige wichtige Dinge zu sagen, oder in diesem Fall zu wiederholen, und dient uns als Erinnerung, dass jede Ära Frieden gebrauchen kann und auch verdient.
