Шаблон:Infobox album Шаблон:Album ratings Blues and Boogie Shoes is an album by the Keene Brothers, a band formed by Robert Pollard and Tommy Keene. It was released in 2006.

Production

Robert Pollard wrote the lyrics to the album's songs, while Keene was responsible for the instrumentation.

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." The Washington Post deemed the album "typically opaque Pollardian lyrics set atop typically power pop-ish Keene melodies." The Toronto Star praised "Death of the Party", writing that "guitars ring, vocals soar and discerning listeners—especially fans of early REM—should rejoice."

AllMusic thought that "Blues and Boogie Shoes is the best kind of collaboration, one that shows both artists at their advantage."
