Episode #359 – Keith Sykes

Singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer Keith Sykes was a guest on my radio show and it was a pretty in-depth interview. Keith Sykes is someone who has had a lifelong pursuit of being and artist. I remember a past guest saying that a book needed to be written about all of the people whose path crossed with Keith Sykes. Some very fascinating characters who play a part in his story include Jerry Jeff Walker, John Prine, Guy Clark, Jimmy Buffett, Roseanne Cash, Roger Cook and others…most of whom have written songs with him. In the world of Jimmy Buffett, Keith Sykes is known as the writer of Coast of Marseilles and the Last Line as well as a co-writer of the song Volcano. He was a touring member of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band in 1979.

Sykes has released a number of high quality albums that have drawn positive reactions from fans and also his peers. More than 100 of his songs have been recorded by other artists ranging from John Prine, George Thorogood, The Judds, Rodney Crowell, Sunny Sweeney and the aforementioned Jimmy Buffett.
