In 1997 [url=http://www.acousticguitar.com/issues/ag50/gear50.html#Keb'%20Mo'%20(Kevin%20Moore)]Acoustic Guitar magazine interviewed him[/url].
quote:
Keb' Mo' (Kevin Moore)
relies on two main acoustic guitars: a Gibson J-60 and a Martin D-1E, a version of the D-1 with a Fishman pickup and preamp installed at the factory. For his slide work, he generally uses a model N National steel guitar. The National and Gibson have been equipped with Highlander acoustic pickups. On stage, he uses a microphone-based guitar sound supplemented with the pickup output. In the studio, he uses microphones almost exclusively, except for a bit of pickup signal on his National.
For a time, Moore used glass slides, but he found they broke too often. Now he relies on a glazed clay slide called a Mudslide. At home and in the studio, he fingerpicks with bare fingers, but when he's looking for more punch and volume in live shows, he dons fingerpicks.
