According to Roots Music, Blues Nation had more spins than other blues CD, based on reports received from Michigan radio stations.

For the weekend of Jan. 14, Blues Nation was No. 9 overall before climbing to No. 4. “It’s a great honor for the band,” Keith said. “It’s a reward for all the hard work we put in it, and tells that people at the stations, as well as their listeners, like the music. That’s what it’s all about.” In 2006, he founded and served as executive director of Arise Detroit, a broad-based volunteer coalition that addresses illiteracy, high school dropout rates, crime, youth violence, drug abuse, domestic abuse, neighborhood blight and unemployment.
