SouthBound Replay: Robert Earl Keen trades life on the road for Western chill

Today’s episode is a replay of my conversation from two years ago with Texas singer-songwriter Robert Earl Keen.

When we talked, Keen had pledged to stop touring full time, although he’s still playing quite a few shows these days.

We talked about life on the road, his beginnings as a musician, and the Hill Country retreat where he goes to write songs.

Hope y’all enjoy.
