Robert Earl Keen' s"Happy Prisoner" bluegrass CD

Just came out in February, so those jonesing for some grass, check it out.

With Keen's voice it's not as nasally/whiney as traditional, which to my ears gets old fast--but it's true to form.

Meanwhile with his depth and age, and his band's, the music has much more depth than most Newgrass artists.

If you are just a REK fan like me, he draws out the "murder ballads" from 100+ years ago just like the characters his usually sings about. Think about Long Black Veil and then The Road Goes on Forever.

Lyle Lovitt joins his old roommate for T for Texas.

Good music for bourbon swilling!
