I’ll be the first to admit that I love live music. And somewhere in the midst of my typical monthly schedule of 12-15 concerts, there are my favorites. Last night’s show by Texas-born songwriter Robert Earl Keen will win this month’s award, hands down.
Taking the stage in a wide-brimmed Stetson hat, Keen wasted no time giving the capacity crowd exactly what they came to hear. Launching right into “Undone”, a Keen-standard, fans immediately started to sing along in unison. Most of the people who attend a Robert Earl Keen show are very dedicated and loyal fans who know all of the songs, so this sing-along trend continued with each new song. Keen joked and told stories throughout the evening in typical Robert Earl Keen style. (more after the jump)
