Robert Earl Keen brought a bit of his native Texas to
Irving Plaza tonight. Playing the live circuit since 1984, the 57-year-old singer songwriter has refined his good-time outlaw country music. His vocals are sometimes reminiscent of
Bob Dylan, but overwhelmingly his music is similar in sound to that of
Jerry Jeff Walker and
Waylon Jennings. His songs have been recorded by
George Strait,
Willie Nelson,
Johnny Cash,
Lyle Lovett and
the Dixie Chicks. I have a feeling that Robert Earl Keen is going to be around for awhile. He is playing at
City Winery on Monday, January 28.
