Song Writing Advice from Robert Earl Keen [Distant Replay]
Robert Earl Keen is unequivocally, and without a single doubt one of the best entertainers of our time. His songs are stories, his stories are real, and they both just seem so effortless. Three-years-ago, at the 20th Annual Key West Songwriters Festival Keen offered up advice on how you can write a song. His advice is still applicable, maybe even more so, in 2018.
Pencil and paper time, boys and girls.
