The godfather of Austin-scene singer/songwriters, Robert Earl Keen made his reputation on a combination of country roots and a literary songwriting perspective. His songs often owe as much to O. Henry as they do to Hank Williams, and WHAT I REALLY MEAN is no exception. Keen's novelistic eye is sharp as ever, as he tells a tall tale about the aforementioned father of country music on "The Great Hank," comes on like Bob Dylan giving a lecture about small-town politics on "Mr. Wolf and Mamabear," and makes like a down-home W.B. Yeats on "The Traveling Storm."
There's a surprisingly inventive production aesthetic at work here, too. In among the expected alt-country and roots-rock templates, there are such unexpected textures as the lilting soprano sax that mingles with nimble banjo picking on the title track, and the blend of Northumbrian pipes and percussive syncopation on "The Traveling Storm." Both musically and lyrically, Keen keeps his audience on its toes throughout WHAT I REALLY MEAN, taking left turns at every available opportunity.

Editorial Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - Keen has always mitigated his soft twang and bluegrass instrumentation with singer-songwriterly gold sounds...
Rolling Stone

4 stars out of 5 - The songs turn on his singularly nuanced writing approach, marked by surprising detail and great sensitivity.
