Fabulous, I sit in the middle of Manhattan, and everytime I hear this it takes me on a little trip south (acid flashback, hmmmmm).
Recreate 1968..................

Overall I think Mr. Clark is a better songwriter, but Mr. Keen's 'West Textures' is hard to beat. This song is like 'Freebird' to me: I've heard it a million times, live, covered, you name it, and I STILL really dig it. Neck, red? Check. c. |

Agreed. "Eclectic" only goes so far. |

I'm hoping to maybe hearing some songs on RP from Robbie Earl's buddy from Texas, Eric Taylor, who hardly ever gets any airplay anywhere, yet plays the most amazing blues-infected Texan folk.

Is it a banjo in the background? 
Anyway....it's bit too countryesque for my taste. |

Nice to hear REK!
I admit that this version of this song is a bit tame. But he does a nice version live and on his live album.
"No Kinda Dancer" is a fine album and he has written a lot of very good songs.

Yeah. They're both from central Texas. REK went to Texas A&M where he once roomed with Lyle Lovett. |
