    Ready for Confetti is, without question, Keen's most inspired and focused project in nearly 20 years.

    Robert Earl Keen is a master storyteller who blends acoustic, nylon and steel guitar with solid percussion and his pure, distinct voice into the finest Americana has to offer.

    Ready for Confetti may be a little different, but it's still very much Robert Earl.

    Ready for Confetti creates that bridge between the romance of gone and the reality of knowing what one does well.

    In dropping the irony for a moment, Keen yet again toys with expectations and shakes up his formula, and it's that openness to change that makes Ready for Confetti one of Keen's finest albums.

    After more than 30 years, Robert Earl Keen continues telling stories that imprint listeners in a manner that's unforced and cogent, and Ready for Confetti finds him stretching a bit musically.
