I just love the heck out of this song. I've loved it since it first came out back in the mid-1990s. The harp playing is pedestrian, but the song is exactly what the blues need in order to keep growing and thriving:

Adam,

This song inspired me to buy an acoustic guitar before I got hooked on harmonica. Very cool fingerpickin'

Saw him open for Lyle Lovett. Could have left after Keb' played and been happy. The CD is "Just Like You"

For anyone interested in learning "Perpetual" (the guitar part)--Keb has an instructional DVD out on Homespun Tapes that teaches the song--there are some other good ones on it too--complete with tab. It is an exceptional DVD. I saw Keb open for Bonnie Rait a couple of years ago--it was really a great concert.

Eric Bibb has been a favorite of mine for many years--I already have tickets to see him again this fall--which will make four years running that I have gone to see him.

I don't think Eric has any instructional material out--but I'd sure like to see some--he has a wonderful style based off (I think) a lot of drop D tuning--but I just can't seem to figure it out--no matter how many notes I try to make at the concerts. Once I heard him play with Grant Dermody--that was really cool. . .

We did the "Blues Cruise" back in Jan.- saw all 4 of Keb' Mo's shows that week. Keb's piano/harp/mandolin/who knows what else player, Jeff Paris, is an unbelievable musician. Keb and Jason Ricci(and a lot of others) signed my now retired harp case.- Both are super nice guys.

Eric Bibb is another favorite of mine. Incredibly soulful musician.
