Recorded on August 22, 2001, Live From Austin, TX captures Robert Earl Keen during the most recent of his five appearances on Austin City Limits - a truly remarkable performance showcasing his artistry and songwriting at full strength.
Keen has long been considered one of the leaders of a new generation of Texas singer-songwriters, an artist whose edgy rebelliousness - much like Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, and Willie Nelson before him - has never quite fit country music's mainstream, which is exactly why he stands out. The 17-track set moves through catalog highlights including "Shades of Gray, " "I'm Goin' to Town, " "The Road Goes On Forever, " "Merry Christmas From the Family, " "Snowin' on Raton, " and "Feelin' Good Again, " covering the full range of what makes Keen essential - road-worn humor, plainspoken heartbreak, and characters drawn with uncommon specificity. Keen has described his writing process as thinking in pictures - snapshots from memory or observation - and sitting down with a guitar to describe what he sees until a story takes shape. That intimacy translates powerfully in a live setting. This 2-disc set is now available on vinyl for the first time ever.
