Some people take up a life of playing music with the goal of someday reaching a destination of fame and fortune; but from the get-go, Robert Earl Keen just wanted to write and sing his own songs, and to keep writing and singing them for as long as possible. Now three decades on from the release of his debut album, with well over a dozen other records to his name, thousands of shows under his belt, and still no end in sight to the road ahead, Keen remains as committed to and inspired by his muse as ever.
