One of Austin's best acts, the Band of Heathens turns on the axis of singer-songwriters/guitar-pickers Colin Brooks, Gordy Quist, and Ed Jurdi. They've just issued sophomore release Live at Antone's, a CD/DVD demonstrating their Americana roots, and they will follow it up in May with an eponymous, Ray Wylie Hubbard-produced studio effort. – Jim Caligiuri

Posted 2 months ago.If there’s one thing you can’t accuse Robert Earl Keen of, it’s being dishonest. Through the years, the Texan has gained a reputation as one of country’s most honest and relatable storytellers—one with a penchant for occasional spats of goofiness. Perhaps the best example of this earnest-silly mix is “Merry Christmas From The Family” a humorous holiday song that hits a little too close to home. The veracity of “The Great Hank” (on 2005’s What I Really Mean), a dream-story about Hank Williams in drag, has yet to be proven. Opening: Band Of Heathens.
