| The hat? - 2010-02-24 |
| I haven't seen anything about it anywhere, so I hope you'll answer and settle my curiousity. Is it one from 'There Will Be Blood'? What's the story? Also, glad to see a Greg Brown song featured in 'Crazy Heart'. Someone in Hollywood oughta figure they could use some REK in a soundtrack. Just better be a deserving film. |

| Great CD Great Show - 2010-02-17 |
| I love all the songs on the album. "The Rose Hotel", "Laughing River" and "Wireless in Heaven" get favorite votes. I took 3 buddies to see you in Covington,KY last night and they were all blown away with the show and the crowd. Great show! By the way, I ordered a hat today from Last Best Cowboy Hats today! |

| WV Mountain Stage Performance - 2010-02-17 |
| 02/15/2010 To All Robert Earl Fans: Last night’s venue at WV Mountain Stage was top notch. From Danny Barnes banjo and Darrell Scott’s acoutics to the Sweetback Sisters and Ray Wylie Hubbard’s Snake Farm, all gave excellent performances but when Robert Earl came out in his one piece union suit (red underwear - special valentines day issue) boots and hat, now that’s one to remember. MC Larry Groce commented that Robert looked like a Canadian Mountie. Robert replied that he also put out forest fires. My initial impression was OMG it’s Pardner (Clint Eastwood) or Ben Rumson (Lee Marvin) from Paint Your Wagon. I was expecting Robert to break out into “The First Thing You Know” or “I Talk To The Trees.” Instead, he launced into The Rose Hotel followed by Flyin’ Shoes, The Man Behind The Drums, Something That I Do and finished up with Wireless In Heaven. Rich Brotherton was on top of his game as was the rest of the REK Band. If you have not yet purchased The Rose Hotel, do it. You’ll love it. REK puts on a great show in any attire!!! |

|
| After many times listening - 2010-01-27 |
| I would have to say Laughing River. I love the music and harmony. Hard to pick one that wasn't written by REK, but that is my top choice. Followed by TRH, Throwing Rocks, Cleveland Overall a really good album |
| by Tom |
|
| TRH Album - 2010-01-09 |
| After waiting 4 years for a new album I was at first disappointed but then, as usual with REK, I am now totally in love with it. I am a big fan of your early work (I'm a grandpa that plays guitar) so Laughing River with the twangy banjo and the raspy voiced duets is my favorite. |
| by David Loree |
|
| The Rose Hotel - 2010-01-09 |
| When I first heard the title track I thought 'this sounds like a Band song'. That influence became clear when I listened to The Man Behind The Drums. Throwin' Rocks, Something I Do, Laughing River are my favorites. Maybe you'll play one of them when we see you (the 4th time) in Bloomington IN in Feb. And thanks for the photo with Christina. You're the best! |

| Favorite Song? - 2010-01-09 |
| Since you asked, my favorites are The Rose Hotel and Something that I Do. Wireless in Heaven also makes me laugh. Well done, all the way around. |

| "ON AND ON" - 2010-01-09 |
| I've played this song over & over. The 1st verse IS me & my paint pony. He even gets close to the sound when I play it in the stable. THANK YOU! |

| Laughing River - 2010-01-09 |
| I would love to know the inspiration for these lyrics. I live in Upper Michigan where the Laughing Whitefish River flows and wonder if this is the river of which the writer was thinking. Love all the songs! Thanks for the enjoyment! |

| New album favs - 2010-01-09 |

| The Rose Hotel 5* Accomodations - 2010-01-09 |
| This is an awesome album. Not a bad song in the lot. "On and On" is great, "Wireless in Heaven" is a knee slapper, The title track is one of the best songs I've heard in the last 10 years or longer. Can't get enough REK. Please don't wait another 4 years to release more great music. |

| Too Many Good Ones - 2009-12-23 |
| The more I listen, the more I like the new album.Each song sounds like it could be from a different genre, and thats what makes it so fun to listen to.Its tough to pick just one. Being from Huntington,WV, I've had to drive a bit to catch your shows, but they were well worth it. Not only is your music great, but you treat your fans so well. REK is a class act. |
| by Ty Harmon |
|
| Full of Great Songs - 2009-12-23 |
| No song on the album sounds quite the same, and thats what makes it so great. Love the whole album. You take up at least four of the spots on my six-disc changer. The beauty of your success is that you've done it your way. No leather pants and no highlighted hair, just awesome songs. Being from Huntington,WV I've had to travel a bit to see you, but it was worth every penny. Thanks |

| Favorite Song TRH - 2009-12-23 |

| The Rose Hotel - 2009-12-11 |
| Robert, Fantastic CD!!! My fave is The Rose Hotel followed by Wireless in Heaven which makes me smile every time! Hope you make it to Michigan sometime, but will see you on a road trip if you don't!! |
| by Fiddlegal |
|
| Throwin' Rocks - 2009-12-11 |
| REK. Great CD. Lots of really good music. Throwin' Rocks my fave, but the title track, L.H. tribute, and a few others very close seconds! btw...it was a thrill meeting you in Richmond the other day. Great show! Thanks for many years/1000s of hours of listening pleasures! Lifelong fan! |

| a joy.... - 2009-12-11 |
| This CD shows such a different journey. From the liner notes to the last chord. You continue to bring songs that are must songs for travelers such as me. Songs that you just wouldn't leave home without. And songs that touch the souls of many. Your version of "Flyin Shoes" was just perfect. I believe Townes would have loved it. "Wireless in Heaven" made me chuckle pretty good. Your duo with Greg is just wonderful. I am still intrigued with "Goodbye Cleveland". But my true favorite is "Something that I do" I hope this record was as much of a joy to make as it is to listen to. For me you made the "big show" on this CD. |
| by Marlene |
|
| I Never Made the Show Either - 2009-12-11 |
| I did however play ball through college for a NAIA DII school up in Wisconsin. "Laughing River" obviously speaks worlds to me. In this time of economic turmoil, moving back to California, having all your friends get hitched and realizing baseball is no longer is tough. I long for that dugout atmosphere and common camradarie. Luckily I can find that and more when you come up to the Bay Area. "Man Behind the Drums" is a close second. |

| GOODBYE CLEVELAND - 2009-12-11 |
| As I am listening to The Rose Hotel at work, I am realizing how privileged I am to be able to hear new music from my idol. It is difficult to choose one song from this album, as this is one of the greatest albums I have ever heard. REK and band, you guys never disappoint. When I heard that ya'll were making this album, I thought, "surely they won't be able to top what they have already done." I was wrong. I would have to say Goodbye Cleveland is my favorite! |
| by "THE" Matt Tice |
|
| Love Them ALL - 2009-12-11 |
| I started off favoring "Something I Do"....that song just makes me smile everytime. but i'm also enjoying Village Inn....but maybe Goodbye Cleveland....boy, they're all great. and REK, you've never sounded better. A very big Thank You to you, the band, and Mr. Maines and everyone associated with this super CD. |

| You're the Best - 2009-12-11 |
| Saw you in Vincennes IN ( my 10th REK concert) during sound check this summer and you guys were noodling around with "Something That I Do". Standing at the edge of the stage watching you work out a song was unforgettable but...."On and On" is the one that you seem to put the most feeling into. You guys are the best and getting better! |

| ohiowiner - 2009-12-11 |
| My favorite is "Goodbye, Cleveland" because I left my hometown Rock & Roll HOF city in '98 for Houston and found you for the first time. My life has not been the same since. The first time I heard you perform that song, chills ran down my spine. |
| by Lisa Clarrey |
|
| Rose Hotel - 2009-12-11 |
| Laughing River and On and On top the list - two all time great songs!! Something that I do is a great song as well - fun. The whole CD is a good listen! |

| Rose Hotel - 2009-11-18 |
| Robert, Rose Hotel is fantastic with a runner up of Wireless in Heaven. But, shoot, they are all good. I attended your show in Wilmington, DE. You met my grandson and said his name on stage, priceless. Your are the favorite in my house thats for sure. Take care of yourself and looking for a full band show real soon. |

| The Man Behind The Drums - 2009-11-18 |
| Being an Arkansan, I’ve got to go with The Man Behind The Drums. What I’d like to know is if the guitar lick is a reference to one of Levon’s songs?? The tune just sounds familiar but I can’t seem to place it. Although…. I’m awfully lazy so I can definitely relate to Something I Do. COME TO LITTLE ROCK! |

| gcc1959 - 2009-11-18 |

| Laughing river - 2009-11-18 |
| I gotta say, the first song that absolutely grabbed me was "The Man Behind The Drums" but as time moves on, I'm really loving "Laughing River". I have to hear it a few times a day now and the feeling of it is classic and timeless. The whole album is great REK and the production is amazing! It was great to meet you in New Hampshire a couple weeks ago... I feel so lucky to have shared those few minutes with someone who I so admire. Thanks for taking the time. It meant a lot to us. We love you up here Man!!! Come back again real soon! |
| by David Foster |

| All of 'em.... - 2009-11-18 |

| Comments from a fan in NC - 2009-11-18 |
| REK, I've been patiently waiting for some new tunes....The new CD is great! So good to hear 'Ol Danny Barnes with you again. As for the songs on the recording,my favorite is the title track "The Rose Hotel" a close second is "On and On". Oh heck.....they're all good! Looking forward to your show @ The Lincoln Theater in Raleigh on Nov. 18th. |

| Something that I do - 2009-11-18 |

| You're welcome. :-) - 2009-11-18 |
| You DO have awesome fans, but you deserve them! And The Rose Hotel SHOULD be #1 because it rocks! (Btw, the best song on it is the title track, or possibly On and On, or maybe Throwin' Rocks, or perhaps your awesome rendition of Flyin' Shoes, or and and and and and and. |
| by stalker |
|
| Throwin' Rocks - 2009-11-18 |
| Throwin' Rocks is my favorite cut but I also like On and On and... aw hell i like the whole album. I compiled a CD of songs by you and Snider for the trip from Dora,Al. to Columbia, Mo. to see you guys. Great show, worth the ride. COME TO JASPER AL.!!! |

| awesome album - 2009-11-18 |
| The title track is awesome and I love Village Inn. Something I Do is such a great chill track. But I have been listening to Laughing River a lot. Great choice on that cover. Keep it up Rob. |

| Favorite from Rose Hotel - 2009-11-18 |
| Has to be "Man Behind the Drums". Nice job REK and Bill! There have been some great songs written about Levon Helm in the past, but this one is tops in my book. |
| by Michael Devers |
|
| Something I Do - 2009-11-18 |
| By far the best but then all of them are great! Waiting for "I Gotta Go" |

|
| The Man Behind the Drums - 2009-11-18 |
| I love this song about Levon Helm. For those of us who know the story behind Helm's concerts near Woodstock in his barn, and who know Helm's history, this song is the perfect tribute. |

|
| Burning Daylight - 2009-11-18 |
| Burning Daylight, Robert Earl, is my favorite tune. I seem to identify myself in this tune. Moreover, you have streched your musical horizona with the cool tropical beat. You are the master of keeping your own voice and at the same time taking your songs to new musical adventures. |

| The Rose Hotel. - 2009-11-18 |
| Robert,
Love all the songs.
Don't know one bad song, you have wrote.
As your #1 Fan,keep up the good work.
The two I dig the most!
10,000 Chinese Walk Into A Bar and Something I Do.
You're right, I feel better,so much so that I'm going to go make a rum cake for next week.
See you down the road. |

| Fave songs on TRH - 2009-11-18 |
| The title track is my fave, especially the chorus with the harmonies. Story of my life!! Then I like the tone/mood of your and Greg's version of "Laughing River". "Wireless In Heaven" is a great funny/'cute' song, and you get to take out your bluegrass frustration at the end!! COOL |
