Edit Review Robert Earl Keen  Americana 
Send email to Robert Earl Keen 		Among the large contingent of talented songwriters who emerged in Texas in the 1980s and 1990s, Robert Earl Keen struck an unusual balance between sensitive story-portraits ("Corpus Christi Bay") and raucous barroom fun ("That Buckin' Song"). These two song types in Keen's output were unified by a mordant sense of humor that strongly influenced the early practitioners of what would become known as alternative country music. Keen, the son of an oil executive father and an attorney mother, is a native of Houston. His parents enjoyed both folk and country music, and his own style would land between those genres. Keen wrote poetry while he was in high school, but it wasn't until he went to journalism school at musically fertile Texas A&M that he learned to play the guitar. He and Lyle Lovett became friends and co-wrote a song, "This Old Porch," which both later recorded.

Awesome Submitted by tmg | 11/11/2007
REK put on a great show at the Belcourt Theatre in Nashville on November 9th. We went to the 9 PM show where the crowd was enthusiastic, especially the boys from Auburn. The venue is relatively small, so there are no bad seats and the crowd sung every song, from The Christmas Song to 5 Pound Bass to I'm Coming Home. The only disappointment was the lack of an encore - maybe the venue forced a time constraint. I look forward to his next show.
