Somewhere on an airfield outside of Houston, TX, a current Los Alamos engineer flies military-grade RC planes and rehearses harmonies for a show at the local saloon. That engineer is none other than country music class act Brian Keith. Armed with the mind of a scientist, Keith meticulously studied the likes of George Strait, Alan Jackson, Clint Black, and Garth Brooks. In the early 2000s, he formed Brian Keith and the Sons of Buck, a harmony-driven country western group named in tribute to local fiddle maestro and World War Two hero Buck Sloan. Over the years, they’ve released multiple albums of hand-picked, original songs from top Nashville songwriters.
Keith’s new hit “So Long Emily” (written by Jeff Penning and Michael Lunn) is a longing ballad to the one that got away. Over a steady kick-thump of drums and shimmering guitar chords, Keith wails out his longing for his absent object of admiration. Emotion mounts with expert harmonies and windswept fiddle flourishes, creating a nearly palpable atmosphere of nostalgia. It’s a song for young and old to relish or reminisce in the throes of heartache.
