Oklahoma is the fourteenth studio album by American musician Keb' Mo' and was released on June 14, 2019. The album featured guest contributions from Rosanne Cash. Jaci Velasquez, Robert Randolph, Taj Mahal and a duet with Robbie Brooks Moore (his wife).

The lead single of the album was "Put a Woman in Charge" featuring Rosanne Cash and was released on September 28, 2018. On October 11, 2018 a music video was released for the song. The second single, "Don't Throw it Away" featuring Taj Mahal was released on June 12, 2019. He collaborated with the Plastic Pollution Coalition to release a music video to the song. On June 14, 2019 Mo released the song "Oklahoma" as a promotional single, as well as a lyric video to accompany it.

"I Remember You" peaked at #7 on the Blues Digital songs chart, and #19 on the year-end chart.

Oklahoma won the Grammy Award for Best Americana Album at the 62nd Grammy Awards.



Keb' Mo' named his 2019 album Oklahoma after the home state of Dara Tucker, the songwriter who co-wrote the title song with the veteran blues troubadour. Until that collaboration, Keb' Mo' planned to make an acoustic album, but "Oklahoma" opened the door to an expansive record that finds space for plenty of cameos (Rosanne Cash, Robert Randolph, and Taj Mahal all make appearances), not to mention understated protest. While the bluesman doesn't disguise his political songs - the messages of "Put a Woman in Charge" and "Don't Throw It Away" are plain in their titles - he does wrap them in the same cozy groove that characterizes the rest of the record. This isn't sugarcoating a poison pill so much as it is reflecting the easy, soulful gait Keb' Mo' has at this stage of his career. Keb' Mo' may not move quickly, yet he moves confidently, inhabiting the heartbreak of "This Is My Home" as thoroughly as he does the back-porch stomp of "Ridin' on a Train." While "Ridin' on a Train" isn't the only cut that wears its blues roots proudly - "I Should've" is a wry catalog of regrets - much of Oklahoma feels smooth and soulful, a sound that suits Keb' Mo' quite well.
