The Keel Brothers consider that their music is deeply rooted in their father Jim Keel's generation and his musical tastes, drawing on selections from the earliest Stanley Brothers (whose hometown is near Clintwood, Virginia- the hometown of the Keels), Hank Williams, Doc and Merle Watson, Classic Country Gentlemen, fiddle tunes and flatpicking guitar tunes and old ballads that were always a part of the weekly "jam sessions" of the Keels' large circle of Bluegrass picker-friends. Perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of The Keel Brothers project is the happiness that pervades this recording. It is obvious that the Brothers are having a great time putting down into a permanent "record" these tunes that were absorbed during a youth spent in seizing every waking moment to play music: on the porch, in the kitchen while Mom's cooking, at family and community picnics, cake walks, VFW benefits. And at night, while the rest of the family and the world's asleep, Larry and Gary would be closed up in one of their bedrooms picking and recording long into the night.
