Robert Earl Keen

Rolling Stone (12/29/94-1/12/95, p.181) - "...From eloquent detail Texan Robert Earl Keen crafts his story songs of pain and pleasure....His knowing weary delivery exactly suits his frayed-denim, worn-leather poetry."
Spin (2/95, p.79) - Highly Recommended - "...Like Jimmie Dale Gilmore minus the metaphysics, Keen's economic twang cuts to the quick of loss, loneliness, and barbecue sauce....Pleading emerges as pure pleasure...[and] last-ditch optimism can be heard all over the album..."
Musician (11/94, p.88) - "...the album is one honeymoon you'll want to tag along on..."
