Robert Earl Keen: Gringo Honeymoon
Richard Gehr, Village Voice, 31 October 1994
ONCE OR TWICE a year I can count on a new country album to sidle up and tear apart my cement-encrusted heart. More often than not, it's by a former resident of Lubbock, Texas--dusty jewels like Honky Tonk Masquerade, Own and Own, After Awhile or Across the Great Divide.
