The Alternate Root Reviews The Bluegrass Sessions!

Robert Earl Keen gets to check another item off his musical “bucket list” and bluegrass fans get to hear 15 classics, reinterpreted in Keen’s own inimitable style. The record opens with a rough and tumble version of the Flatt and Scruggs classic, “Hot Corn, Cold Corn,” delivered in a raucous house-party fashion, complete with hootin’, hollerin’ and no small amount of bullwhippin’ in the background.

Review of Happy Prisoner on Prescription Bluegrass

God bless Robert Earl Keen for restoring my faith in artistic integrity! This is a dooooozy of a CD, and it’s as real as dirt under your fingernails. It’s bluegrass, it’s old timey, it’s honest, straight from the heart, Mother Earth music and Robert Earl has done the world a favor recording this tribute to the music he loves and grew up listening to.
