University Continued from page 5 Texas-pickin’ tune that displayed Keen’s solo acoustic abilities (one of the rare times he emphasized the music). Keen quickly set the stage for one half of his set. “Coin’ Down In Style,” followed by numbers such as the raunchy “The Copenhagen Song," the purposely chauvinistic “It’s The Little Things” and the con summate rebellion of “Senora’s Death Row,” showcased Keen’s fas cination with the past and the com mon. While Keen’s more primitive songs were sometimes funny, and usually accompanied by popular story intros (including a hilarious se tup to “Five Pound Bass”), his hu mor was at times questionable (ho mophobia and sexism), although the Front Porch audience reacted to it differently. A warm bonding emerged between Keen and his au dience, especially with the male half. If the male audience displayed their machismo during Keen’s more upbeat moments, than the ladies ruled during Keen’s tremendous ballads. Make no mistake, Keen is an immensely talented performer who knows how to play his audience. Continued from page 5 At the end of Keen’s second set, the audience gave him a standing ovation, pulling him back for a two- song encore that ended with “Ran cho Grande.” No doubt, Keen’s live success lies in his ability to relate to his audience. Whether it be a story about “bass in- timidator lures,” the after effects of a long night swigging Nyquil or the dissolution of a painful relationship, Keen has a relevant story for every one. In a town without a strong mu sical heritage, these human capsules are invaluable. able relating to people from the stage than I do through one-on-one contact.” Are you conscious of a certain format or direction when you write? What influences the division between the ballads you perform and the more “good ole boy” songs? “I pattern my songs after other songs I like. If I hear a really nice song about someone else’s mother it might inspire me to write a nice song about my sister. I like to make com mon statements about my roots. My humor is what brings out my con nection as a ‘good ole boy.’” How has the success of Lyle Lovett and Steve Earle affected you?
