I really enjoy this one too.

The Road Goes on Forever is the first thing I ever heard by him, and taught me that country music could be more than just singing about beer and a girl on a tailgate.

REK was the headliner for First Yell in 2012, where he played to a full Bernard C. Richardson Zone in Kyle Field. Someone in the front row made a request for him to sing Merry Christmas from the Family, and he happily obliged. Keep in mind this was early September.

No, I just thought that it was cool that he presumably went outside of his setlist for that night to play a song that is without a doubt a Christmas song.ruddyduck said:fav13andac1)c said:

are you under the impression he only sings that song strictly at christmas time?

No love for The Raven and The Coyote? Kind of hits a different way.

I don't think I've been to an REK show where he didn't play it.

"Well, it's a real popular song with us, I have nine records out and this song just sort of cropped up and became a real favorite and we get requests for it all year round. So, I had to create this rule, I call it the 'Linen Rule', where we don't play the song as long as you can wear linen. So it saves it and makes it fresh for the holiday season. So we start playing it around Labor Day and we play it on through the holidays. It's the big number particularly in December that we close with." Robert Earl Keen
