Robert Earl Keene is a national treasure He also sings some great serious songs like Gringo Honeymoon and Feeling Good Again. It’s the Little Things are a hoot as well

Many years ago when I first heard this song, I told my family this is our family during the holidays.

Robert Earl Keene is somethin else, he has several good songs - Gringo Honeymoon and Feelin Good Again are a few of my faves. And yeah this song is very relatable in my world)

This song is a can’t miss for our family. It shows exactly what you mentioned that no matter our differences, Christmas is a time to come together……Favorite serious Christmas song is “Mary Did You Know”…the versions by Pentatonix and Carrie Underwood are both awesome

@SafiaGray 8 ай бұрын

I love this song even though I am from the straightest vanilla midwestern family ever! Because the true Spirit of Christmas is love and acceptance and keep going to different convenience stores if the first one doesn’t have what someone in the family needs...

@thevictorianedge5465 7 ай бұрын

This is my family. Or was,I have memories since so many have passed. So I actually made SURE I played it this past Christmas 2023 for my grown son, my oldest. He unfortunately or maybe Fortunately lol😂 he got to miss a lot of the crazy “Christmas Excitement” that I had always known growing up. Talk about disfunctional family, mine was. Now I laugh about it and sometimes want to cry because I miss them all so much. Love this song.

REK is one of the greatest hidden gems in music. Hes not mainstream and some may consider him a regional act but hes a powerful singer-songwriter. Hes got songs like "Mariano", "Feeling Good Again", "Gringo Honeymoon", "Christabel" (eerie, spooky) "The Road Goes On Forever", Jesse with the Long Hair"....way too many to mention. Pick one! Theyre all great.

@hatleyhoward7193 8 ай бұрын

I just hung up a framed print of “The Road Goes on Forever and the Party Never Ends” in my living room. You should review that song but make sure you do the live version. Also - Feeling Good Again, I’m Coming Home, Gringo Honeymoon, Dreadful Selfish Crime, Corpus Christi Bay, The Front Porch Song… all amazing. He also has a great Austin City Limits Live set. REK is a Texas Country legend.

@@MrsShamrock826 It’s definitely the one song that I hear and feel instantly nostalgic for my hometown. I equate him to the Mark Twain of Texas Country music….. so insightful, thoughtful, and captures the human spirit in such a simple, but also complex way. I love that you love it.

I'm so glad you did this. I've been part of a group of friends that have met online for about 20 years and I wasn't one of the first ones to join. Now we're more family than friends. This is our unofficial "official" Christmas Song. The day after Thanksgiving someone in our Facebook group posts this song. Then and ONLY then, it feels like Christmas for our group. I absolutely love this song and have to play it several times around Christmas.

I got to see him on his farewell tour. Just as good as he was 30 years ago at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. I have a ton of favorite Christmas songs, but there are a some I hold in even higher regard. David Phelps singing “Oh Holy Night - Live in Birmingham” Voctave ft. Mark Lowry singing “Mary did you know” and David Phelps doing “Ave Maria / The Lord’s Prayer” are a few of those.

Keen is terrific. This was recorded at the John T. Floore Country Store in Helotes, TX, on August 12, 1995. The video was done later. The live album called “No. 2 Live Dinner” is one of the best albums ever. So many great songs. Check out “Gringo Honeymoon” or “The Road Goes on Forever” from that album.

Saw REK at the Rio theater years ago. A refugee from the Houston alt rock scene; a very entertaining funny performer. Best known song, "The Road Goes On Forever, But the Party Never Ends" (the title has nothing to do with the "Take the Money and Run"- ish song, but it's still a catchy chorus). Another rabbit hole singer/song writer I saw at the Rio several times and is worth a listen is Paul Thorn; had some great covers/ videos by Sawyer Brown.

First time hearing this, and glad I did. Favorite funny Christmas song is "Grandma got ran over by a reindeer" Favorite serious Christmas song is "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" Margaritas are not that neon, but the original lime ones are green (because there are many other fruit flavors they come in) Harlengin is a town in south Texas that is linked by bridge to Metamoros, Mexico (yes, I probably misspelled both of those)

I’m sure many other have said this, but you should definetly check out more REK. While I consider this more of a novelty song, REK is huge in the Texas country music scene and has a lot of great songs. Gringo honeymoon, play a train song, and Tom Ames’ Prayer are some of my favorites, but the road goes on forever is probably his most popular.

If you really like the story telling of country music then you should absolutely listen to a new (for you) old country storyteller called Red Sovine. One of his best was the song (story)Teddy Bear and the sequel Little Joe. Red Sovine did a lot of SW country and truck driver songs. Nobody can bring a message better, happy or sad. A lot of his music makes you think.
