The inspirational song finds Kevin Moore, best known by his stage name Keb’ Mo’, hopeful for a brighter future during troubled times:
It's a crazy world, a crazy time
Maybe this is the way it was meant to be
I got a hopeful heart, got my head up high
And the future, looks marvelous to me
There's a deeper conversation
Going on in every nation
Joy & jubilation and a way to change the world
“‘Marvelous To Me’ is a tribute to heroes – people who put themselves on the line, and who we’ve lost in a series of tragic events. It’s a positive look at negative things that have happened. The value of these people’s sacrifices is sometimes underestimated in the moment, but in the future they’re hailed as stepping stones to more change, freedom, understanding and a better society for us all,” explains Keb’ Mo’.
Good To Be debuted atop multiple Billboard Charts including #1 on the Blues Album chart and #11 on the Heatseekers Chart. In their 4.5 out of 5 star review, American Songwriter called the album “...effortlessly engaging while imbuing consistent good vibes and an ease brought about through infectious enthusiasm,” while Folk Alley proclaimed “...Mo’s mellifluous vocals sing directly to the deepest part of us, and his music creates an aura that wraps us in the warmth of that delivery.”
Upon release, Keb’ Mo’ performed his single “Good To Be (Home Again)” on The Kelly Clarkson Show, sat down with PBS Newshour for a career-spanning interview and was featured on NPR’s Weekend Edition.
