Western Chill is now available digitally for the first time!

“This is for my fans who have all but begged for me to release Western Chill digitally,” says Keen. “The fans spoke and we listened: you want Western Chill on-the-go so we’re releasing this labor of love, and given that it’s digital, I trust you’ll share it!”

The Western Chill vibe is soulfully laid-back— and packed with enough surprises to keep even the most seasoned fan guessing what’s coming next. The opening title track—an instant Keen classic in the easy-loping vein of “The Front Porch Song,” “Gringo Honeymoon,” and “Feelin’ Good Again”—sets the mood for the whole album, followed by back-to-back original stunners sung and written by fiddle/guitar player Brian Beken (“Waves”) and bassist Bill Whitbeck (“Bluelight”). If variety is the spice of life, Western Chill is the Silk Road to chill with more contributions heard from Beken and Whitbeck as well as compositions by the rest of the band. This has all been documented here because true to the “featuring” tag on the album cover, this really is a REK Band affair.
