Barbara Allen Keith (born 1946) is an American folk-rock
singer-songwriter who recorded two solo albums in the late 1960s and
early 1970s. She re-emerged in the 1990s with her family band, The Stone Coyotes, who have released 12 albums and continue to perform.

Early life and career

Born in Deerfield, Massachusetts,[1] she performed at the Cafe Wha? in Greenwich Village
before making her first recordings in 1968 as a singer with the band
Kangaroo. The other band members were multi-instrumentalist John Hall, guitarist Teddy Speleos, and drummer/vocalist N. D. Smart (previously of the Remains).[2] They released a self-titled album on MGM Records, on which Keith wrote two songs, "Daydream Stallion" and "The Only Thing I Had".[3] The band split up in early 1969. Hall moved on to form the band Orleans before becoming a politician; Smart later formed Mountain with Leslie West; and Speleos formed the band Holy Moses with singer-songwriter Billy Batson.[2]

Solo career

Keith recorded her debut self-titled solo album at A & R Studios in New York in October 1969.[4] Produced by Peter Asher, it was released on the Verve Forecast label, but was a commercial failure.[5] Reviewer Richie Unterberger
described the album as "slightly above-average late-'60s
singer/songwriter music, with a strong country-rock flavor", and
compared her singing style to that of Marianne Faithfull.[6]

Her second album, also self-titled, was recorded with leading session musicians including Lowell George, Spooner Oldham, Pete Kleinow, Lee Sklar and others, and was released by Reprise Records
in 1972. The producer was Larry Marks, whose songwriting partner Doug
Tibbles married Keith in 1973. The album contained a cover of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" – released as a single – along with self-penned songs including "Free the People", also issued as a single and later recorded by Delaney and Bonnie, Barbra Streisand, Sherbet and others;[7] "The Bramble and the Rose", covered by Patty Loveless;[8] and "Detroit or Buffalo", recorded by Melanie.[9]
Reviewer Ronnie Lankford described the album as "a fine effort
highlighted by great writing and solid production", performed by "an
expressive, soulful singer".[10]
Keith later said: "Somehow, even though there were some great studio
musicians on that album... it didn't feel like ME completely yet, and so
we gave back the album advance money and quit."[11] As a result, Warner/Reprise failed to promote the record and it was quickly withdrawn.[5]

Keith and Tibbles continued to write and perform together, while withdrawing from the music scene into family life in Massachusetts.[11][8] Their song "A Stone's Throw Away" from her second solo album was recorded by The Dillards in 1975, and by Valerie Carter in 1977. "Pride of Franklin County" was recorded by Tanya Tucker in 1976.[5]

Coyotes, with Tibbles' son (Keith's stepson) John Tibbles, and began
playing occasional gigs and recording. Keith plays electric guitar and
sings, Doug Tibbles plays drums, and John plays bass.[12] When playing at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, they were seen by writer Elmore Leonard, who used them as the model for the band in his 1999 novel Be Cool.
