Thread Name: Robert Earl Keen, is he 'folk'?
Subject: RE: Robert Earl Keen, is he 'folk'?
Doesn't matter what we all call Keen - he is what he is and what he is is what he says he is. Me, I like the "Best Western" tag; down here most folks would call him "Americana" and most of the airplay he gets (to my knowledge, anyway)is on stations that play a whole lot of Americana music. Throw him in a pot with Kevin Welch and Ray Wylie Hubbard and call him whatever you want - I'll call him "pretty damned good." Cheers.
