Description

Product Description Mention the name Robert Earl Keen, and several descriptive terms spring to mind - Texas singer-songwriter, career artist, brilliant storyteller, sardonic humorist, poet of the strange and familiar. And now with the release of his latest album, Happy Prisoner, there is what may seem a surprising addition to that list - bluegrass singer. "I've had a lifelong love of bluegrass," says Keen. " When I started playing, my first guitar hero was Norman Blake. In college, I had a bluegrass band called the Front Porch Boys, went to fiddle contests, learned a jillion fiddle and old-timey songs. My whole education in music started with bluegrass." The record finds Keen re-teaming with producer Lloyd Maines. Helping it all fall together is Keen's longtime ace band, consisting of guitarist Rich Brotherton, bassist Bill Whitbeck, drummer Tom Van Schaik and steel guitarist Marty Music, plus a star-studded cast of special guests, including Danny Barnes on banjo, Nickel Creek's Sara Watkins on fiddle and Lyle Lovett and Natalie Maines on vocals. ..."guarantees the listening a constant high." ****MOJO "if you want to know what 21st century American bluegrass music should sound like  you don't have to look further than Happy Prisoner"- ****Songlines

Great Bluegrass set

Discovered this from a BA inflight audio package. If you like Bluegrass give it a listen. The sleeve notes says they wanted to capture the sound of Bluegrass picking in a small room and I think they hit the spot.

Junior's Done Good.

It's, quite simply, a great album. Nothing fancy, and nothing new, but everything done really well. Believe me, you'll love it.
