the new cd is not your new age texas music. it's pure REK!!! all-in-all a great piece of work! for all you (haters) out there listen to the cd again and i think you'll definitely change your mind. i loved walkin' distance and the songs on g forces make it a great follow up. i do think that he smoked some crack when he wrote the gravitational forces song REK- can't wait for the next one

This is the worst CD that REK could and I hope will ever make. It sounds like he had smoked to much pot before he recorded it. A great singer like REK should never do a studio album. His greatest works are his live albums. I am sure he will make up for this mistake with his next CD.

I absolutely love Robert Earl Keen. He is an awesome songwriter and a great performer. He can do it all. I know some people who are only used to hearing "Road Goes On Forever" don't care for REK's new album. But I have to say I was very impressed. He's come full circle on this one. He's finally learned to use that incredibly sexy voice of his. Every song just rolls along. He's smooth and clear. Yeah, not all of these songs are destined to be live hits but this ain't a live album. REK did an awesome job on this one. There isn't a single song on there that I don't like. I was also excited to get an autographed copy. That was a definite plus. Robert Earl will always be my favorite and this latest record is nonstop good music. What more do you people want from him?

Gravitational Forces is a very good album. Not A Drop of Rain is full of lonesomeness and desparity, and is one of REK's best songs. The album would be better with out the remake of the Road Goes On Forever. With a tibute to Townes Van Zandt, an old Johnny Cash tune, and all of REK's songwriting talents Gravitation Forces is more than a solid purchase. Its true this album is no West Textures or Gringo Honeymoon, however it is still a good Robert Earl Keen album that has a less regional sound, but is still unmistakenly REK.

I've been a Robert Earl Keen fan for years and this is the ultimate mainstream sellout. This is a record company mainstream sound and REK's draw is to not be mainstream. The sound is muffled and drags throughout. He's fallen a long way from the quality that we saw in Gringo Honeymoon or No. 2 Live Diner. REK, get back to your roots and tell those incredible Texas stories, don't just keep remaking The Road Goes on Forever the way the studio execs want!

one of the best albums i've heard in a long time. unbelievable writing!

This album feels like he was bored, and decided to make an album on his way to the liquor store.

I'm sorry, but I have to say it doesn't matter how good some of these songs are or how much I like them, this album is by far his worst effort. I'll buy his next one, because you know he'll make up for it. But this one's going to the back of the CD rack.
