I'm not a stranger to REK's music, but I will admit that I'm a relative newcomer. I'd say that I enjoy about half of this album, but the rest I can do without. Of course I love the standards, although the live version of 'The Road Goes on Forever' left a little to be desired.
On the other hand, 'For Love', which I'd never heard before, is an amazing song. Absolutely fantastic.
Newcomers should beware, however--on some of his songs he sounds like Dale Gribble from 'King of the Hill' when he sings. Takes some getting used to.

If you love Robert Earl Keen, you'll love this Best Of collection. (I would not recommend it for anyone who is a newcomer to REK. Some of the tracks are live, and the first three are VERY old, and not as sophisticated in sound as his newer stuff.) I bought this for my boyfriend, who loves anything REK, and he hasn't stopped playing it for two weeks straight (literally!)
If you only buy one RLK...,

If you only buy one RLK, this is it. It was my first. I've since bought ALL the rest. But, I keep coming back to this CD because it is really a great compilation.
