Critics agree that Robert Earl Keen is near legend status in his home state of Texas. Now, Keen is aiming at the rest of the country.
Some call is alternative country.
Others characterize it as contemporary folk. But whatever box it s placed in, Keen is sure to blur the boundaries. Keen is a consummate storyteller, a quality that has lent to successful songwriting. His songs have been performed by Lyle Lovett, Nanci Griffith, Joe Ely and Kelly Willis. But his singing and playing is equally celebrated.
