Blues and Boogie Shoes is an album by the Keene Brothers, a band formed by Robert Pollard and Tommy Keene.[5][6] It was released in 2006.[7][8]
Robert Pollard wrote the lyrics to the album's songs, while Keene was responsible for the instrumentation.[9]
Critical reception
The Denver Post wrote that "the production is tight and bright, showing Keene’s mastery of power pop and thick, creamy guitar riffs."[10] The Washington Post deemed the album "typically opaque Pollardian lyrics set atop typically power pop-ish Keene melodies."[11] The Toronto Star praised "Death of the Party", writing that "guitars ring, vocals soar and discerning listeners—especially fans of early REM—should rejoice."[12]
AllMusic thought that "Blues and Boogie Shoes is the best kind of collaboration, one that shows both artists at their advantage."[2]
