Robert Earl Keen and Reckless Kelly @ HOB, West Hollywood: June 1, 2006
Always a treat seeing all the Texans on the Sunset Strip when REK heads out west...and Thursday night at my favorite venue, the House of Blues, West Hollywood was no exception. Austin's best bar band ever Reckless Kelly did an awesome job getting the crowd all riled up for Robert Earl Keen, performing a set that was slightly more country than their last LA appearance. After Reckless made way for Mr. Keen, the crowd was treated to a full two-hour set that included signatures like "Gringo Honeymoon," "The Bucking Song," "The Great Hank," "Dreadful Selfish Crime," "Furnace Fan," "Corpus Christi Bay," "The Front Porch Song," "Five Pound Bass," "Feelin' Good Again," and of course "I'm Comin' Home," and "The Road Goes on Forever," plus plenty of humor like only REK has (ask me about the "Mickey Mouse Outfit" joke).
The only thing that would have made the night more enjoyable would have been the absence of my ex-boyfriend.
