Where McKeown cites The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as an influence on her music, the Philadelphia Weekly recently described McKeown's music, saying: "More singer-songwriters should follow the lead of Erin McKeown, the kooky songbird who's proved both playful and daring throughout her career.
With a lilting delivery and chameleonic instrumentation, she even slipped into French for "Coucou", a gem off her unlikely standards album Sing You Sinners. But with McKeown, is anything really unlikely?"McKeown's latest record, Hundreds of Lions, was released under Righteous Babe Records on October 13, 2009.
Additionally, "CabinFever", a series of web concerts recorded in 2009 are available at McKeown's website. McKeown began her career in the folk scene.
