Robert Earl Keen’s 1984 debut is packed with his knack for storytelling, imbued with Southern charm and wit, over sparse folk arrangements. Songs like the delicate and laidback “Between Hello and Goodbye,” with its soft, swaying rhythm, conjure the same feelings that come along with watching a summer sunset from a dusty porch. Elsewhere, “Willie” provides an upbeat, jaunty acoustic chug, and the sweet bounce of “The Coldest Day of Winter” belies its heavy, romantic subject matter, as a couple face their final days together.
