Robert just keeps getting better if that's possible...this is in my opinion the best album he's made to date...the songs, the singing and playing is brilliant ...congratulations Robert and good job Rich.

Wow...didn't think I could be this disappointed with Robert Earl's new album. But I guess there's a first time for everything. My buddy bought this CD and we listened to it together, and the general consensus was that this is most definitely NOT one of his better albums. There were two or three tracks that I deemed "listenable," but most were, well, pretty bad. In fact, I'm skipping his concert tonight at Floore's because I'm scared to death of hearing any more of his new songs again (particularly the title track, "Farm Fresh Onions") and not being able to skip through them.

Pure classic, with very few misses. Hell at least he came out with a full album that wasn't made up of 2 new songs and 10 old favorites. This album just expands on the reasons why I like REK's music...Keep on rockin' & Gig'Em!

I've given this album a few listens already and have to say it's one of his better ones. The thing about Keen (at least I think) is that his good songs are great and his bad songs are unlistenable (ex: Gravitational Forces). However, with this effort, the standout tracks, like Furnace Fan, Train Trek and All I Have is today, mix well with the lesser songs. The ones I mentioned should become concert standards. The songs here are very different, but at Keen's stage in his career, it's good to experiment. There is not one track on this album that I deem as "unlistenable." I definitely recommend this album to any fan of REK and anyone who says this album is anything less than "good" needs to expand their musical horizons. Although the beer-guzzling frat boys will disagree, Keen is at his best when he's avoiding the "drinking songs." Some of the songs on this album could be conceived as such but only because they put you in a good mood. Another thing this album does is hopefully freshen up the live show. I've seen Keen about a dozen times, mostly in the past 3 years, and his concerts, while a blast and unforgettable, have become a bit repetitive. For a while, I could recite the first four songs he'd play before the show would start. Anyone who is even a passing fan of Keen should definitely check this out. I rate this up there with Picnic and Gringo Honeymoon, but falls just short of classics like Walking Distance and Live No. 2 Dinner.

Good cd - best songs are 2,3,4,9,10,12

Keen's worst effort by far.

Not as good as previous Keen offerings but still a good album that stands on its own two feet. In my opinion the best songs are Out there in the middle, These years and Let the music play.

REK is original, the way people should be...
