Robert Earl Keen, Jr. is a Texan who did not take the express lane to the radio airwaves. Instead, he spent more than a decade seasoning his talent while entertaining folks in the -- yep, you guessed it -- friendly honky tonks of Texas, where music fans tend to like individualists with plenty of personality. No. 2 Live Dinner finished off a consistently powerful string of albums recorded for Sugar Hill Records. Taped in front of rowdy, beer-swilling crowds in two Texas towns, Keen bears his good-natured raspiness into songs of desperation, danger, and raucous humor. A contemporary of Steve Earle, Lyle Lovett, and Nanci Griffith, Keen`s work has been as consistent and occasionally as strong as that of his friends. It`s taken him longer to gain a national profile, but it`s coming at a deserving time. For those unfamiliar with him, this live album will convey how well he`s loved in his home state. Listen closely, and the songs will explain why, too. ~ Michael McCall
