Robert Earl Keen - Gravitational Forces
Robert Earl Keen is from Bandera, Texas, which is the same place two of the coolest brothers around (Charlie and Bruce Robison) come from. Is it a coincidence or is there really some serious talent in the water in that tiny little town?
Included in this collection are the songs, "Walkin' Cane," which is really rockin' and makes you wanna get up and move around, a song about getting over life's obstacles ("Snowin' On Raton,") and finally a tune about an artist that does not need to be on the music charts to have a good time ("Hall of Fame").
Before listening to Gravitational Forces, I was only familiar with the name Robert Earl Keen and only a couple of his songs ("The Road Goes on Forever" being one of them), but now after listening to these eleven tunes I feel like I have a good grasp on what his music is all about.
