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? Was watching their success
difficult?
“When I lived in Nashville it was
real hard on me. Lyle, Steve and I
came to Nashville at almost the same
time. Steve, in fact, was the one wl*
talked me into moving from Austii
“It was funny ’cause six monll
earlier Steve and I had been sitlii
on his couch, drinking NyQuilan
staying up all night writing
and watching ‘Raiders of the U
Ark.’ We had turned into totalzom
loser hippies. Then all of stidde
Steve was having to change kii

Do you ever talk to Lyle?
“Yes. About once a month,”
Have you ever considered doiti
a show with him here?
“Not really...though I would loti

much bigger than mine that it wi
be totally up to him. I’d be n

sure Lyle and his people wouldni

He’s just at a dif ferent level.”
