The Metal Cowboy Ron Keel returns to the Cobras & Fire Podcast to discuss his latest release Keelword.

RFK Media presents KEELWORLD, the new album from veteran music warrior Ron Keel, on August 2nd 2024, in both digital and CD formats, with the blue vinyl release scheduled for Black Friday (November 29th). All physical versions will include a 12-page "comic book" style booklet containing comic-ized versions of iconic photos from all eras.

This ambitious project features entirely all-new brand-new music from Keel's notable projects Ron Keel Band, Steeler, Keel, IronHorse, Emerald Sabbath, and solo material. RFK Media emphasizes that these are not leftovers from the vault or previously unreleased tracks – KEELWORLD consists totally of fresh songs (except for the Black Sabbath cover) and new recordings that capture the original style and spirit of the bands on the track list.

Several singles have already been released: "The Last Bottle On Earth" (Ron Keel Alone/Acoustic); the Ron Keel Band's "Hard On The Outside / Heart On The Inside)," which has achieved airplay on SiriusXM and rocketed to #1 on the 97Underground.com radio chart; and now, the new Keel classic "Moving Target" (the first new song from that band in almost 15 years) is available as an instant download with the iTunes pre-order of KEELWORLD. And the first new Steeler track in over 40 years, "Give Me Guitars (Or Give Me Death)," will be accompanied by a big-budget music video directed by David Pear (The Dead Daisies), to be released in conjunction with the Black Friday blue vinyl edition.

ALSO AVAILABLE: the Limited Edition "Director's Cuts" DigiPak which includes the same comic booklet plus two bonus tracks. The DigiPak version is offered free exclusively to All Access members at http://patreon.com/ronkeel.

"KEELWORLD is a unique ride across all the musical landscapes I've called home the past five decades – from the heavy metal jungle to the red dirt roads of country music," Ron explains. "As diverse as the songs are, even with the stark contrast between styles, the album has a cohesive sonic identity, and the pieces fit together just as I hoped they would."
