 Quatrième album (3ème studio), il est plus blues que les précédents. A ce titre, sa pochette est significative, faisant apparaître un bon vieux bluesman noir, jouant guitare et harmonica. Keep On Smilin' dégage une atmosphère très cool et révèle une formation qui prend de plus en plus d'assurance au fil de ses enregistrements. (jean claude)
