REK wrote the ‘Village Inn’ song about a motel he stayed at in Challis, Idaho when he played the Braun Brothers Reunion a few years ago, I was there when he debuted it but had no idea it still made it onto the set list!! cool

Sad to have missed it. I totally get the Labor Day thru Easter thing; for rural folks like me, Merry Christmas From The Family’s maybe a little too on the nose, and “Travelin’ Soldier” is an all-time favorite.

I’ve seen REK live and he puts on a fine show, if you’re a drunk Texas frat boy that is…(just kidding)!

No, you pretty much nailed it. (Although I’m a Keen fan myself, but I’m an exception.)

Leeann, the only REK album I own is “Farm Fresh Onions” and its a definite keeper. REK’s music seems to stay within certain boundaries and I think “Onions” covers all those bases fairly well. I’ve seen REK live and he puts on a fine show, if you’re a druck Texas frat boy that is…(just kidding)!

Conclusive evidence that I am never in D.C. when the cool things happen. Great read!

I keep trying, but I just can’t get into Robert Earl Keen though.

I know REK wrote it and Todd Snider recently covered it, but I say the definitive recording of Corpus Christi Bay is from Johnny Rodriguez. Johnny’s version is almost transcendental its so good. Its one of those cuts that every time you hear it you just gotta say “wow”!

I’ll second the review as I was there as well. Great show. The highlight to me was Todd Snider’s take on REK’s Corpus Christi Bay. He gave the song a whole different feel.
