In many ways this is my first album, Brett Dennen says of his fourth record, Loverboy, out April 12th, 2011.

On my previous albums I said what I needed to say. I evoked every different mood and sentiment and emotion.

Now I don t really have anything to prove. I ve been the new kid on the block and now that phase is over.

I get to start all over again, relax, and refocus. He pauses and flashes a laidback grin. And what I m focused on is having fun.

In honor of the upcoming restaurant week, I am going to post a few dishes from some of the participating restaurants.

The first is the Clarksville establishment Jeffery’s. For longtime Austinites like my dad, who grew up here, Jeffery’s is synonymous with fine dining.

I actually have never eaten dinner in the formal dining room, but have enjoyed happy hour in the bar a few times.

Robert Earl Keen: Keen emerged in Texas in the 1980s and 1990s striking an unusual balance between sensitive story-portraits and raucous barroom fun.

Unified by a mordant sense of humor that strongly influenced the early practitioners of what would become known as alternative country music.
