Description: Wild Wind by Sandra Johson Cooper, Ron Cooper, Willy Braun An anthology of poems and short stories that pay tribute to Texas singer/song-writer Robert Earl Keen. The poems and short stories here are each inspired by Keens songs. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This anthology of poems and short stories is an homage to Texas singer/song-writer Robert Earl Keen, who stands in the songwriter/storyteller tradition of Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, John Prine, and Keens contemporaries Lyle Lovett and James McMurtry. The poems and short stories here are each inspired by Keens songs, some expansions of themes of Keens songs, others move in creative directions suggested by the characters in his work. Keens songs are impressive for their literary sensibility (he was an English major at Texas A&M University) and have influenced many songwriters as well as authors of fiction and poetry. Review What an amazing storyteller/songwriter with songs so full of life, humor and often a deeper undercurrent of pathos and humanity. Hes a national treasure whose work will endure.-Patterson Hood of Drive By Truckers"The Road Goes on Forever" was like a baseball bat hitting me on the side of the head, because I know those people in that song. Its a great live song.-Joe Ely, Texas singer-songwriter, author of "Me and Billy the Kid"Robert Earl Keens touch with lyrics is obvious. Every song is a story with a unique physical setting. Its the music, however, that delivers those lyrics as a seamless, extremely musical whole. Each song has its own framework, supporting the story in every way and creating a rich scene in the listeners mind.-Kathy Barwick, bluegrass and folk multi-instrumentalistI saw Robert on Austin City Limits around 1986, and Ive listened to him ever since. Thats around the time I started writing songs. Music like his is what took me to Nashville a few years later. Bigger Piece of Sky is one of my top ten albums. I think hes one of the all time best songwriters I ever heard.-Chris Knight, Singer/Songwriter and honorary Texan Details ISBN1963695011 Author Willy Braun Pages 142 Publisher Madville Publishing LLC Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781963695014 Format Paperback Publication Date 2024-11-19 Imprint Madville Publishing LLC Subtitle Poems and Stories Inspired by the Songs of Robert Earl Keen Edited by Ron Cooper Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
